My new most hated phrase.

Cee-Jay-Cee

Wet pubs.

It doesn’t need any explanation. It’s Just the most stupid ridiculous crass phrase or whatever the fcuk it’s supposed to be...ever. Who ever came up with it should be publicly stoned and then burned at the stake just to be sure.

Ten of Swords

Should be replaced with Moist Pubs

Its a pretty accurate description of the state of the floor and jacks at the end of the night... in some such establishments.

Wet has three letters. In the whatapp and twitter age thats why it was adopted I reckon.

Atlantic Dawn

Should be replaced with the term Gargling Emporiums.

Another gave context on the term: "We prefer Traditional Pub ‘Wet pub’ is derived from an internal industry term ‘wet-led’ used to identify a pubs main product range (beverage).

"As media have tried to describe the differences in pubs for Covid regulations the ‘led’ has been dropped from ‘wet-led pubs’"

A quick Google shows it's a pub with a sink behind the bar, whereas a pub with no sink behind the bar is a dry-pub. So still doesn't make sense. It's bastardised to mean pubs that only serve drink (wet), compared to those who serve food (dry(?) products).

Well they're wet from the tears of vintners who don't care about their negative effect on society.
The noise of their pubs at nighttime, serving too much drink to troublemakers, ignoring drink driving, replacing stock with cheaper versions, serving slops, etc.

Boo hoo...

The proper phrase is "A Public House which serves alcohol but does not serve food". Brexit should always be stated as "The exit of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union"

Go down the back of the wet market, take a left at the pangolins and go through the curtain.

Still not as bad as, 'if it's meant to be it's meant to be' or if it's meant to be it'll not pass you by.' No, get up off your arse and make it happen.

"The new normal"
"we're all in this together" ...

we are at a "tipping point" ...

"This is still ONLY the beginning" (has been only the "beginning" for almost 8 months now)
"long long long long way to go"


F*ck off!!!

MetzgerMeister

Wet pubs
Social Distancing and all its derivations
Covid-19 and all its derivations
Such and such is cancelled....."Due to Covid-19"
The new normal
Anti-maskers (bunch of w4nkers)


For me, the same thing happened during the recession - I began to hate (and still hate) the word "recession". The amount of talk about it just made it worse IMO.

It's great to see that the English language is still evolving. It always has, and always will resist the attempts to censor new words and phrases.

All HSE/NPHET corporate-speak that has trickled into daily use.

Fcuking "roadmaps", new normal and cocooning are just three of my most hated.

I thought the purpose of language was communication?

If everybody knows exactly what is meant by the term "Wet pubs" then what exactly is the problem?

Only seen it with chadwick boseman's death but it's been around before that.

Roadmaps and new normal been knocking around for at least a decade...
Dont think you can pin that one on NPHET.

And we all know who to blame for cocooning... you know, the same people who made Steve Guttenburg a star...

My pet peeve is the phrase 'Reach Out' as in "Reach out to me" or "I reached out to him/her". Fcuk off.
