Things you hate people saying

AMKC

I will start things off

Bank Holiday Monday yes I get it it's a fu-cking Bank Holiday fu ck sake.

Big deal not.

I miss when people just said it was a Holiday Weekend. What's wrong with that?

Just because it is a Bank Fu cking Bank Holiday does not mean we are all off OK.

Fu cki g Q-102 whatever you call them announcer or whatever sorry radio Host. Great station by the way just a stupid Radio Presenter.

What??? They've always been referred to as Bank Holiday Weekends. Nobody ever just said Holiday Weekend.

Revert back.

Stupid meaningless nonsense phrase. What's wrong with the word "reply"?

People who ehhh and ummm their way through sentences. I recently had a work training thing and the trainer ehhhhhhhhhhh'd their way through it.

"Well ehhhh what we're going to see here is ehhhh and if you look at the ehhhh graph on the ehhhhh right.... "

I was fit to strangle him.

People saying it’s the‘holidays’ around the 12th of July

'Hi!'

pappyodaniel

"Well to be honest", so all the other times you speak you're just telling blatant lies?

"Literally" 99% of the time this word is used it's just completely unnecessary, "I drank so much alcohol at the weekend I was LITERALLY dying on Monday". No you weren't.

”I’m going to shove this fuckïn cactus right up your arse. Again”.

“Awesome”, absolutely hate that adjective, used by a generation younger than I who have made a visit too many to North America. If everything is something which is to be in awe of then there’s not a thing remains to be in awe of. I e seen it used in people exposed to the American relatives young, so it has become part of their own tiresome vocabulary.

Exactly. Bizarre. And why would it be so upsetting to hear people call it the bank holiday weekend but not upsetting if they called it the holiday weekend (which nobody does. Long weekend maybe?) And why would everyone be off on a "holiday weekend" but not a bank holiday weekend? (Nobody claims that everyone is off on a bank holiday weekend - obviously plenty of people still have to work).

No, it can't be overestimated, or indeed it shouldn't be underestimated.

"That's a load of bollox"

I find that a load of bollox.

"lightning never strikes twice"

Yes it does, it strikes a hell of a lot more than twice, it strikes all the f**king time!!!!

I know the original saying is that it never strikes the same place twice (which is also incorrect given the existence of lightning conductors) but by removing the 'the same place' from the phrase it completely nullifies any possible truthful meaning and just sounds completely stupid instead!

Badly Drunk Boy

"Only in Ireland!".

Irish people saying either of these

Great shout, goes hand in hand with claiming that something is a 'very Irish phenomenon' despite being the most mundane, normal, widespread 'phenomenon' you could think of, eg:

Thanking the bus driver

Or

Asking a taxi driver if they are busy 🙄

This absolute rubbish!

As if your life is something you have no control over....

You get opportunities, it's up to you what you do with them. If something doesn't work out I hate when people say this crap.

I completely agree

ThePentagon

Whenever someone refers to their partner/spouse as "herself" or "himself".

In a similar vein, when people on social media to partner as "Mr/Mrs <name>",

e.g. "Myself and Mrs. ThePentagon were just sitting down to watch tv the other night when...". It just irritates me for some reason.

Deregos.

D'ya know, you're the absolute cut of your uncle Brian.

(Uncle Brian was a violent alcoholic, wife and child beater).

ThePentagon

*That should be "when people on social media refer to their partner as "Mr/Mrs <name>"

My bad isn't irish!

Recently encountered this in the States when people are ordering food;

”I’ll do the salmon, duck etc.”

or “I’ll do a ______” and even “Let’s do _____”

Hadn’t heard it before but it instantly angered me and I’ve no idea why. It just sounds wrong.

Take those notions, shove them deep down inside and order your food like a civilised being.

Any sort of mild controversy have 'gate' attached to it.

Like the original incident was the Watergate scandal, so why did people just arbitrarily take the 'gate' at the end and decide that would be the perfect addon to literally any word to represent a scandal or controversy 🤷
