Twat when said by an Irish person.
It just sounds wrong unless it's an English person saying it!

It's even worse when an American says it: "twod'

What yous need to do is relax.

Also, piece. As in "we'll look at the finance piece before we get to that".

It is the single most irritating thing to make it's way into common use.

Things aren't in 'pieces', parts maybe. It puts years on me.

And, I want to be the best version of myself. Thats just ****e talk. I want to improve, I need to work on x, fine. Talk about a generalised way of saying you're trying your best not to be completely useless but you haven the brains to notice what's actually wrong with you.

'Boom' at the end of a sentence.

YES. When did this become a thing?? A load of upper level management in my job suddenly started saying it a few months ago, it's like a kind of shibboleth for how much of a tool you are. It's maddening.

"Keep your eyes peeled."

Always brings to mind the image of someone literally peeling their eyes with a knife.

'Binge on box sets'. A box set is a set of records, CDs or DVDs in a box. It makes no sense when talking about watching a series on television.

Maybe it's been posted already but the changing of"couldn't care less" to "could care less" does my skull in.

Seconded.

Also, not an expression as such but every time I hear "irregardless", every inch of me clenches up.

Hand-cut, in relation to food. Hand-cut sandwiches.

Irish people who say "cuppa".

The word "gift" as a verb.

Pre-loved.

Agreed. Also "date" as a verb

Too many to mention

- hubby
- likely instead of probably or more then likely (I'll likely go for a pint after work)
- calling a pub a "bar"
- my bad (fu*k off)
- reach out
- anyways
- super excited, super interesting etc.

I could go on all night

Basically means make up and spread any bull**** you like, add this caveat and it's true.

Replying to a statement or a question with "ya, 100%" because it's too much effort to say you simply agree these days!

'Doggo' when referring to a dog
Irish people who use American words and phrases like 'Authorities' for the guards, 'mom', saying or writing the word 'period' at the end of sentences.
'Yummy mummy'
'Hubby'
When men call their wife or girlfriend 'the misses'
The use of words 'cuppa' and 'cup' when referring to tea or coffee.
Referring to people as 'liberals'
I could go on...

You’re after reminding me Airyfairy, expressions like -

partner/life partner, significant other

siblings is another one

What was ever wrong with boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, etc?

Or brothers and sisters?

“Partners” and “siblings”

*shudder*

There's someone in my life who says this any time I don't respond to a text within a certain time frame and it's maddening.

Parents who address their kids as "guys" in public. Like "Come on guys"

Hand crafted, hand painted.

Yeah, the hand painted ones are way nicer than the ones that are foot painted or machine painted.

Home cooked/Home baked: not by a granny in a thatched cottage... when it's cooked/baked with hundreds of others by Magda wearing a hair net in some industrial estate.

Yes! What happened to 'second hand'?

'Passed' is another one. 'Passed away' is bad enough, but 'passed' is in a league of its own. Why can't we just say 'died' anymore?

Usually she(it's always a she) will consult with the 'guys' loudly before taking anything from the shelf.
