Things you hate people saying

Sorolla

Ah - he looks just like himself - ye'd think he was only asleep

(in funeral home - some gobshite looking at the corpse)

TheRiverman

All the ridiculous hypocritical praise and playing songs of Sinead O'Connor since she died. Apart from reports about the tragic death of her son in 2022 there has been virtually nothing about her or hardly any of her music played for years. I wish people would just shut up and let her rest in peace.

"like" as nearly every other word.

Yeah "though" and "do" don't even sound alike.

Same when people use "where" for "were".

And it has become fashionable to omit "will" and "would", e.g. "He be delighted", "She love that" (he'll be delighted, she'll love that).

Yeah a row of question marks or exclamation marks looks thick and obnoxious.

Sorolla

In the west of Ireland whenever a man passes away you often hear this phrase:

“oh - he was a great worker”

Manc-Red_

“Now it doesn’t bother me but”

Sorolla

Frequently on rip,ie - I hate reading this

”may his gentle soul rest in peace”

Sorolla

A man in a pub saying

“I’m going to shtrain the spuds”

meaning - one is going to urinate

ShamNNspace

Happy out.... What does it even mean

Sorolla

“The Mickey money” for the children’s allowance

Sorolla

Your auld mother continuously saying:

”I’m not well”

growleaves

"Ah tuunnnnnneeeee!!" when a good song comes on

Sgt Hartman

"Aw telpis, your wit the angles now"

Usually when a pond scum criminal dies

TheRiverman

People continually talking about age and getting older, just live your life and stay healthy as long as possible. A typical age related one, " did he/she get the pension yet" or " he/she must be near pension age". I have often felt like answering " none of your f...ing business".

Happy out

TheRiverman

People using the word "passing" for dead or death.

silliussoddius

Thinking outside the box

Wellness

mrcheez

People who pronounce the j in "Junta" rather than saying "Hunta"

How do they pronounce Javier Bardem's name?

People who say Expresso instead of Espresso

I’m off to wet me beard.

Some awful woman in the pub as she headed off to the jacks.

TheRiverman

"The wife" instead of "my wife".

The priest when he says "You may offer each other the sign of peace"

This x 1000. I don't why people can't say someone died now. That's what actually happens. "Passed away" is bad enough but "passed". Passed what? A gallstone? A particularly heavy meal? A slow moving vehicle?

That and "bathroom" for toilet that doesn't have an actual bath in it. Or worse, aping Americans yet again, washroom.

I love it. Let's hoist the flag and see who salutes.

"Whats the craic", I know, I am Irish, I should not find it problematic but I just dont know how to respond.

I dont mind it if the situation doesnt allow a response, like someone passing me quickly etc, but I hate meeting someone and them opening with that. What do I say? "Grand"??
