Wet pubs by a mile. I would love to know who came up with that.

iamwhoiam · 13-03-2021 4:09pm

5kms

I know every blade of grass by now

Skygord · 13-03-2021 4:11pm

"next month"

"The novel coronavirus"

I've just finished the novel War and Peace, I'll try that next.

growleaves · 13-03-2021 4:37pm

"in the middle of a pandemic"

13-03-2021 4:38pm

The Disease.

It's a brand new disease that we know nothing about.

Don't be like that. After all, we're all in this together.

This isn't us - except, this is us

My/Your 5 km

Mobility data shows.....blah blah, cause for concern

That's not an essential journey

I suppose it'd be too negative to be honest and tell the truth that it's ANTI-SOCIAL Distancing they want ?

Test For Echo · 13-03-2021 5:00pm

Any phrase, or sentence, from Micheál Martin.

prunudo · 13-03-2021 5:00pm

Worry meter and mobility data.

Mr. Karate · 13-03-2021 5:01pm

"We're all in this together"

"2 weeks to flatten the curve"

"Hold the line."

"Stay at home or you'll kill Granny"

"Together. Apart"

"we must keep sacrificing" {for the greater good}

I think that's all of them. This is what Western politics and governance has turned into. Mentally weak man children making cheezy catch phrases for ass pats and trending on social media instead of actually governing.

Deeper Blue · 13-03-2021 5:01pm

"Tony Holohan"

dirkmeister · 13-03-2021 5:04pm

“Global” pandemic

“Ramp up”

“Roll out”

The worst by a mile, only wet pubs come close in my opinion.......”staycation”

Pwindedd · 13-03-2021 5:14pm

“We’ll be swimming in vaccines by Q2....”

Owldshtok · 13-03-2021 6:00pm

‘Buddy up’

in relation to doctors surgeries pooling resources.

...Aarrgh!

Bit cynical · 13-03-2021 6:03pm

I wouldn't mind staycation if it was used for its original meaning, trips you make from your home. Using it for a holiday in Ireland downplays the fact you can have a very good holiday without going abroad.

MrMusician18 · 13-03-2021 6:09pm

It's not so much a phrase but I hate the influx of very angry posters to this site, particularly noticeable post Oct 2020.

Almost all rational debate on C19 has been drowned out by this cohort.

If we must have a phrase, " the 'rona" grinds my gears.

shtpEdthePlum · 13-03-2021 6:11pm

Schools are safe

“We’re all in this together”

Me fookin hole we are all in this together.

xhomelezz · 13-03-2021 6:33pm

Open up everything...as some suggest.

Plumbthedepths · 13-03-2021 6:34pm

'New variants' 'stay safe' two pet hates of mine.
On a side note people really have become intolerant of the opinions of others.

Nothing new there, doesn't matter if there is pandemic or not.

What's new is those imposing the restrictions are protected from financial loss themselves by virtue of having tax payer funded jobs and pensions.

Real Donald Trump · 13-03-2021 7:34pm

Stay safe

Red Silurian · 13-03-2021 7:46pm

There's only one phrase I can't stand anymore, and it's also only one word long

Gamechanger

Everything is a gamechanger, from banning household visits to the AstraZenneca vaccine but there is no gamechanger that ever seems to be enough to make any real change. The word has been used way too often without any real change happening and everytime I hear it now it just makes me lose all credibility in whoever says it

You mean elected government?

Nope. As Leo Varadkar said last October when Nphet wanted to impose a national lockdown, they won't be on the PUP tomorrow.

Still there's nothing new or different.

13-03-2021 8:00pm

Varadkar talking about old and vulnerable people "cocooning".

It is new, but off topic regarding this thread so that's me done with it.
