    Name or position droppers

    "My sister is working in Dublin, she's going out with a lad from Wexford , he's an accountant. He's family have land.

    My other sister is going out with a lad from Foxrock, he's a solicitor."

    When you ask about sister number 3 you are told

    Oh yeah Mary she's in Dublin, going out with a man.

    Or maybe just

    Mary? She's grand, in a hetrosexual relationship.

    Good luck finding out what he works at or where he's from. It'll be something like Finglas or Tallaght and he's a van driver.

    They drive me nuts. I lose respect for that type.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Really religious people, the conservative sort -- instant walk away mode.

    People obsessed with conspiracies.

    Health freaks, more so the recent converts... and they act all condescending "Oh that's bad for you!" -- feck off!

    I have friends who are religious. Well they believe in a god and go to whatever services etc for that particular religion. Then there's people I grew up with who joined youth defense. The difference between the two groups is amazing.

    Completely agree with your post but there's so many "your" instead of "you're" that I can't thank it, sorry.

    The term “Fall” for Autumn didn’t originate in America, it went over to there on the Mayflower and while it fell out of common usage on this side of the Atlantic it stayed in it over there.

    I have heard a few people this side of the Atlantic using it too, not too often mind. Predominantly used in the US/ Canada I would think. Far from the worst one on the list and if I think more I can come up with far more annoying words/ expressions.

    Yes and commonly used word in everyday language in the British Isles along with Boutique, Souvenir, Fiancé, Brunette, Depot, Petite etc etc.

    Creche is also in the Collins English dictionary.

    Can't stand that. You always get it in hipsterish BBQ joints.


    "Hey Broseph, you want slaw with that?" - as if they just got in from Baton Rouge, Louisiana with this new invention we'd never heard of and everyone in Ireland hasn't been munching culchie caviar since time began.

    People who are into GAA and/or Rugby.

    Liverpool supporters. It just never ends well with this lot.

    People who don't like cats.

    People who are cruel to animals. They can get ass-raped by the devil for all eternity.



    People who are overly into politics, especially Irish politics.


    People who act like their religious beliefs are the only way. You've chosen a fantasy to believe, and that's fine, but don't come at me aggressively with your bullsh*t.


    Anybody who works in the Irish media.

    People who make a big deal about having/raising kids, especially whiny mothers and whipped daddies. Nobody asked you to have them, so shut the f*ck up!

    Possibly but then again a lot of people might be thinking you are putting them through some form of torture if you tell them that and for most English is our primary and only language.

    There have been people saying "people who are into politics, religion, football and loads of stuff.

    I think the thing is when they try and make their interest into your interest. If they're the kind of person who can't have a conversation without mentioning football, politics etc. If they're the kind of person who can turn any topic into a discussion about their topic. That's where it gets annoying.

    You don't like the GAA, people who are 'overly' in to Irish politics or anyone working in the Irish media?

    I rally hope you don't live in this country.

    People who hate the Irish language and call those who want to preserve it a “Taliban”. Not a speaker myself by the way.

    People who dislike other people for liking sports they don’t like or supporters of clubs they don’t like. All childish.
