    When a radio reporter states 'Team A bet Team B'. Seems to be a Limerick thing !.

    From a well respected family is another one.

    Yeah but he's a real piece of sh1t.

    Another one - "he's off the drink now and has recently secured employment - losing his licence will be to the detriment of the progress he's made"

    every GAA coach in the country when interviewed.....

    "I haven't actually read the rest of the thread but . . ."

    Or someone leaving a review of a product and beginning it with

    "I bought one of these a while back, I haven't actually used it yet but . . ."

    'He plays GAA'

    Do you mean he plays Gaelic Football?

    Do you mean he plays Hurling?

    Do you mean he plays Handball?

    BE MORE SPECIFIC!

    Referring to men with Americanisms like 'guys' or 'dudes', or even worse, calling both men and women 'guys'!

    Beloved of Dublin 4 and rugger types.

    Hate it! Men in Ireland are called 'lads' or 'men'.

    Newspaper articles on Politicians using buzzwords to justify their positions.....

    "Minister CALLS for reform on social housing"

    "Minister WELCOMES funding for secondary road upgrades"

    "Minister LAUNCHES new recycling initiative"

    People who post stuff like "Goodnight Sweet Little Angle" on Facebook after a child dies..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭byronbay2


    Old people telling you about their age (or others telling you on their behalf): “I’ll be 84 next November/year.” So you’re 83 now? Why not just say that?

    Or "Fly high with the Angels" is another one...



  • Registered Users Posts: 855 ✭✭✭moonage


    People who say "obviously" a lot when very little of what they're saying is obvious.

    Sports people tend to be the worst offenders.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,372 ✭✭✭gameoverdude


    "Smile, its not that bad". For you it is now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭brokenbad


    People in work who overuse corporate speak such as:

    "in terms of"

    "From a business perspective"

    "As per my previous email"

    "I'll revert back"

    "Lets square the circle"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,848 ✭✭✭Hooked


    Was on a flight into Vegas last year - and this gay lad (I've NOTHING against gays) who was just doing his best to let the whole fuçckin plane know he was gay (with a real bad Miley Cyrus type voice) KEPT saying the phrase "APPRECIATE YOU" to the flight attendants, other passengers, anyone who would entertain him.

    I wanted the plane to crash with myself and everyone in it... just to spare us THAT phrase in THAT voice!

    Jesus wept!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭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.



  • Registered Users Posts: 145 ✭✭Beefcake82


    "like" as nearly every other word.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    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.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭Sorolla


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


    “oh - he was a great worker”

    A man in a pub saying

    "Aw telpis, your wit the angles now"

    Usually when a pond scum criminal dies



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭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".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    Happy out



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


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

    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    "The wife" instead of "my wife".

    Tuesday.


    I hate the sound of it, the way it just sits between Monday and Wednesday.


    What an absolute cu76 of a day that keeps coming back around.

    WOKE



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,636 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    " Over the moon"

    "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"??
