    Posters on boards when replying to a post starting the 1st sentence with an eeerrm or a eh!

    Or else start a reply when arguing with another poster with an "ok I'll bite"

    This does my absolute head in. My old man constantly says it. Pretty everything that might go wrong here goes wrong in every other country but you can't explain that to him. Another thing he constantly says when something isn't to his liking like a road not being built quick enough. "We're a 3rd world country" No we aren't a 3rd world country try go to an actual 3rd world country where people are starving, disease riddled and dealing with some kind of civil war and /or some despot regime.

    When you are in hospital and everyone ask you,

    How are you?

    Actually, as a neutral nation, we do live in a third world country - and it has nothing to do with poverty, disease or political turmoil

    First World refers to developed, capitalist countries aligned with the United States, Second World describes former communist countries aligned with the Soviet Union, and Third World includes developed and developing nations that were non-aligned during the Cold War. These terms originated during the Cold War to categorize countries based on their political and economic systems.

    If that's the classification, then I've understood it wrong the whole time! Cheers for that. I'd no idea. Seems pretty outdated and useless way of classifying countries in that case.

    That annoys me too, I've lived in a few other countries when I was younger and exactly the same type of things happen everywhere, be it bureaucracy (try living in France or worse Italy), government inefficiency, corruption you name it, we don't have a monopoly of any of these and we get plenty right here.

    "Turd Whirled" as in;

    "Dublin has become so "Third World" now.

    "ah sure he had a good innings" - referring to very elderly people who have passed. It's still as traumatic for that persons friends and relatives no matter how old the person was.

    My bad



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,600 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    I love when women call me pet names also if they have been fighting this is a sign its coming to an end. ;)

    I hate when people say the Irish language is useless.

    That is not a universal experience. That is your experience. Or it's taught badly unfortunately for you that was your experience and I'm sorry about that.

    I find it very useful. It has helped train my spatial awareness. Deas means both south and right.

    Historically, the same words were used in Irish and the languages it descended from for compass directions (north, south) and relative directions (right, left). The directions match up for a person facing east:

    East

    Forward

    West

    Back

    South

    Right

    North

    Left

    Its also helped me with numerical concepts also.

    Im sorry if it was not useful in your life but its helped my cognitive development a lot. I'm not saying everyone has to learn it or that I'm more Irish or anything. I understand people have emotional triggers around it but it annoys me when people say it like it is the same for all.

    That the Aldi and Lidl founders are Brothers. I know they aren't but don't want to correct them.

    The names Michael or Danny Healy-Rae in any contexts other than either "grifters" or "gombeens" - hopefully, the very thought of these two will count very heavy against unification [sic] in any, God forbid, "border-poll".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,600 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Why are you against unification it has so many positives?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,192 ✭✭✭saabsaab


    "I was only joking" No, you weren't.

    "Passed". A vile Americanism, "passed on" or "passed away" is bad enough but just "passed" is far worse

    Why can't people just say "died" instead of silly euphemisms.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all
