    "alrite de boys" in a strong dublin accent,

    any 'paths to freedom' fan would think its funny!

    The classic "Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter" shall always remain so.


    However, people who say "OH.....MYGODLIKE" should be beaten with sticks.

    If they include multiple exclamations the sticks should have nails in them.

    Chivalry? Yes, I've heard of it. You deserve every last bruise, you nattering harpies.

    Alroysh!

    It's sort of a piss-take.

    I also say "story boss" in a nort-soyid accent too, that one always gets a laugh.

    Anyone else watch Dara O Briain, if you ever have, did you ever notice that whenever he tells a joke he always goes "Eh" followed by a sharp intake of breath?

    From the first time I noticed that he has been ruined for me. Now I can't help but ignore what he's saying and wait for his tic, it's SO annoying


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    myself and the missus walked past him in Merrion Square a few months ago, I said "look, theres dara o briain EHHHHH" but I said the EHHHH bit too loudly and he heard and looked over. :o

    As someone else mentioned already, that "he turned around and said x, then she turned around and said y" type **** really annoys the **** out of me.
    :mad:

    Calling anyone "bud".

    The sheer presumptiousness of that really gets to me when strangers do it. I'll decide whether or not I'm your "bud".

    when you think you are right and you turn out to be wrong and some one says

    see, i told ya so!!!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 488 ✭✭SuzyS1972


    " with all due respect "
    " what are you playing at "

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,215 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    When people say def-in-itely instead of definitely. Laughed my ass off when Buffybot used this one repeatedly along with a lisp on one of the pod casts.

    when people are drunk and ya just wanna get em home and then they always give it - "and one more thing" or "can I just tell ya something" or "you're not listening to me" or "whats the rush, sure ya only live once"....

    These are all very annoying lines which I'm sure EVERYONE has used at about 2.30 in the morning in a pub/club as you're either being pushed out by a doorman or being dragged out by a loved one. I can be funny though, occasionally:rolleyes:

    lol I love that one, I use it taking the piss if I am a bit drunk and stagger or mix up words, you follow it up with
    AN AN NUDDER DING! (translation: and another thing)
    while waving your finger about, as though you having be ranting on all night.

    I hate when someone is drunk, have started an argument, and just keep sayin "relax, relax bud, relax, I'm only sayin.... like"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 Tiddlywinks


    "I'll tell you something for nothing " Well I was hardly gonna pay you for telling me

    "First things first "

    And when you ask somebody something eg. "Do You think there will be any seats left upstairs on that bus".. And the person says "Im sure there will be"... really they arent sure at all.. they have no idea so why bother saying theyre sure?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭Skitbra


    People who use the word Basically way to much. Basically, I.......... and then basically we used to.......

    So basically thats what annoys me the most. Its only really one person that I notice saying it a lot but I've heard it from other people and basically it drives me basically nuts.

    munch...

    context: Lets get some munch

    i hate that f*cking phrase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    :v:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭joe_chicken


    "Ok has everyone got that.. alright... Happy Days!"

    What a loada ****...especially done in a wanky **** tone of voice

    condescending, non-sensical drivel that people who feel like they have to talk for every moment of their life, tend to use to fill in the gaps between other annoying phrases


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    Mine has to be "in all in anyways" said in a Colin Farrell accent. It's even funnier when the other person cops on and answers with "yeah, in all in anyways". Classic :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 304 ✭✭dahooligan


    OOOHHHH and, I forgot about this.. young professional men who refer to money as "notes" or "blips".. I bleedin hate that! Example - "Yeah so I ended up in Lillies last night, one too many chardonnays and next thing I knew I was down like 150 blips/notes, whats daddy going to say"... tossbags:eek:
