'Fall' instead of saying 'Autumn', especially when used by Irish people but also just in general.

Irish people using any Americanisms should be forced to clean out sewers and septic tanks with their bare hands. And lick them clean afterwards

It’s clearly used in the context of domestic matters. A non national in Ireland clearly means a person who is not a national of Ireland. Likewise ,if the word was used in say Spain, it would then mean a person who is not a Spanish National

It’s a lazy and somewhat inaccurate way to say foreigner ,I guess

Because foreigner has become a racist word.

"Ireland Inc." - can't stand that expression and when people use it they think they are intelligent.

Words that come under that umbrella have my head melted at times.

I don't blame the children of that word, but we need to cut the head off that snake.

None when you think about it there just sound that come out of someone's mouth that let us know how someone else is thinking,

POC(standing for people/person of colour and excluding all people considered "white") is a horrible divisive word that seem to set the stage for an us vs them type scenario instead of everyone just being people.

deeply politically loaded term, hate it

This. "Awesome", "dude", and also that annoying voice inflection thing that people seemed to have picked up from tv shows like Friends.

Just stop. Please. For the sake of humanity.
