Shuttering formwork on the "new" childrens(they'll be pensioners by the time it's finished) hospital

Hyperbollix · 24-09-2023 01:24PM

"Let me just make my point................and the point in this" People like Joe Brolly, Eoin "The Bolshevik" Ó Broin etc

Basically comes across as "Is everyone comfortably seated now? Phones on silent? Do I have everyone's attention before I bestow my wisdom on you?"

Just get on with it.

To tell the truth..

So normally you aren’t telling the truth then?

Kicking the can down the road.

Endless Circle is one I'm beginning to hate as I am finding myself using it way too much to describe the situation I am currently in.

Square that circle!

Word inflation. Every mundane little thing is either amazing or awesome with some people... essentially adults with the vocabulary of poorly read ten year olds.

blackbox · 24-09-2023 11:05PM

SICK to mean something cool when it should mean ill.

I think it came from the USA.

YellowLead · 24-09-2023 11:32PM

‘Fab’ in any context.

Calling a Router a Modem.

"back in the day" a recent turn of phrase that never was used 'er back in the day, mainly used by morons that want to attach some gravitas to what they are rattlin on about.

ShamNNspace · 25-09-2023 12:44AM

Interviewer.. "well would you say the cause of the present problem is A or B

Greasy politician.." (first name of interviewer) it's a bit of both "

Arragha it is what it is .

Norma Foley with any of her filler lines. She’s like one doing the Irish oral in school where she has a few lines learned and she’ll stick them in to buy her time.

”in the first instance”

She says this continuously so surely it can’t be the first instance anymore.

And then the dreadful “let me be very clear about this / I want to be very clear about this”

Followed by 5 minute waffle that is anything but clear!

The usual stock phrases rolled out during court cases where the defendant has:

"turned his life around"

"no longer drinks alcohol"

"comes from a well known and respected family" - bonus points if it's a GAA family

"turned a corner and is facing up to his responsibilities"

I witnessed such an interaction, chap looked like his sob story got him off then the no nonsense female judge asked had he any previous convictions then it all went pear shaped

Patrick2010 · 26-09-2023 09:24AM

People who start every sentence with "so" or who keep saying you know, listened to two interviewees on the radio recently that did this. Hard to concentrate on listening to what they were saying in between all the "you knows"

K-9 · 26-09-2023 09:59AM

Across the line. Started in Rugby and GAA.

F*cking lines everywhere now.

I saw this on the racism thread yesterday about that young girl who was denied a medal. The poster was trying to say "let's be honest about it, of course it's racism".

Given the way that word was used in the UK in the 60s-80s, it made me chuckle when it shouldn't have.

Just to let you know, I wasn't at all hinting about it in anyway racist. It's just that someone I know keeps saying it every two minutes . . Especially when he's had a couple of pints on him and every useless comment that comes out of his know it all gob, starts with "Now let's call a spade a spade".

People who,by was of agreement/in response to a statement say “hundred percent”….grinds my gears….one for the TA thread I think…
