Cliched Phrases on Boards

External Association

I'm new enough to the site but certain phrases are used way too much on here. My top 3 are:

1. Jesus wept.
To quote Brian Clough whoever, wherever came up with that in real life 'needs bloody well shooting'.

2. Christ on a bike.
See my response to phrase 1.

3. 'That's about as funny as a burning orphanage'.
This phrase ceased to be funny at the turn of the millennium, through overuse.

Any boards cliched phrases annoy you?

Silly to hate supporters of a sport.

If you know,you know

Such a bunch of arrogant,over indulged knobends the lot of em....taken in by a farce of a sport and think ramming buzzwords into sentences will make it entertaining (it wont)

A sport made for people who arent skilful enough to play others takes prime time slots on irish tv,which is a joke given its playing numbers here.....we shouldnt be encouraging our youth to play it,no mind clogging up the free-to-air channels indulging these cûnts

"Since breastfeeding is OK in public due to being natural, I should be able to urinate/defecate/masturbate/have sex in public."

It's amazing that that actually gets resorted to as an argument but it does!

Ah no, surely no one is that thick.

wait until yous hear some rugby commentry.....buzzword central :yawn:

Talking of rugby phrases the term “the ref missed their antics at the ruck” must be used in every single thread about whoever Ireland are playing.

"You couldn't make it up". Usually said in relation to something that could, indeed, quite easily be made up.

To the un-initiated....the ruck is basically a buzzword for rolling around on the ground

'X is is living rent-free in your head' seems to be becoming more common, and annoying.

Time to change the auld sig I think.

Tarring all of them like that is more than a tad unhinged!

(I have zero interest in rugby BTW - but any rugby fan I know is a perfectly decent person. I know the type you're talking about but they are not all rugby fans by a long shot).

Its a horrible rotten sport though,which shouldnt be letting kids play.....using hype and buzzwords packed into prime time tv slots to induce kids to play a game that will result in a lifetime of injuries,severe head injuries,drug taking to just stay competitve.....

All this is shut down and not allowed discussed in the media,as the irfu deosnt allow critical questions at press conferences and refuses access to journalists....

hence why everyone thinks its ok and dandy,while in reality the irfu is responsible for destroying thousands of our youth health

....how many irish players/on irfu payroll suffered concussion injury last year,and why do they not answer qs on this on any platform/general inquirys??.....its a pure scandel whats going on there,while taking thousands off the guillible in tickets and fees to keep the hype and "team of us" buzz going

[Deleted User]

That's the game though - you were talking about the fans. It can be elitist in Dublin but it's different in Limerick, very different in Wales, parts of England and NZ.

[Deleted User]

"Typical Irish" about something that could be found anywhere.

Begrudgery - it is a real thing but valid criticism isn't begrudgery!

When a mod posts "Stop the bickering"

When I see this, the default assumption in my noggin does be that a woke type poster said summit actionable/offensive; but another poster responds to the insult, and then to "sort out the problem" , cue the "Mod Note"..

Seems one side gets more latitude when it comes to insults etc,, on certain contentious issues...

Yeah that's really unfair. Mild gas-lighting.

I've seen it in the case of posters trying to antagonise from other directions too though - not just woke ones.

It's a real thing though. E.g. on a thread about Bloody Sunday - what about what the IRA did? As if they can't open a separate thread, they have to be that tasteless.

It may depend on the relevance of the objection,["What about.....?"], to the subject being discussed. The objection then becomes something open to debate - or dismissed as "whataboutery".
Whataboutery or context.

Gaslighting

(And usually used incorrectly)

[Deleted User]

'get your big girl pants on'...anyone remember that one?

Or

'ive had my fun..that all that matters' ...

Misogyny/sexist/racist/Islamophobe are often used if someone disagrees with your opinion.

Accusations of being right or left wing too.
