Random, legend/ledge/ledgebomb etc and the use of the word "funky" in conjunction with anything other than funk music. A handbag or a hatchback is not funky, Bootsy Collins could not possibly be responsible for them.

So random funky legends really piss you off?

Nice one, I was lookin for some ****-fodder.

I hate the word "Obv" as in the abbreviated word "obviously". My 'friend' says this everytime you ask her a question. I can't even look at her in the face when she says it. I HATE IT! AGHHHHH! I am picturing her saying it now, and i am angry...

I also hate the word 'Legend'. When it's used right it's OK, but to call someone a "legend / ledge / leg-end (even more annoying) / ledgebag" is just sad really. So stop it everyone.

Hmmmm, thats all i suppose.

Actually, wait;
i hate the word "roide". As in 'look at her. shes a roide'. Can't stand it.

brianthebard · 31-03-2007 06:16PM

Hate the words legend and legendary unless they are referring to something like Cúchulainn.

I agree with the person who offered 'revert'.

I work with one moron who constantly emails me with requests to 'please revert' to issues that I have never (nor could never) have actually seen or dealt with before.

If you were the network admin, you ask nicely if they want their email reverted back to it's previous state, like 12 months ago :mad:

Gaillimhtaibhse · 31-03-2007 07:41PM

When someone only says part of a word and expects everyone to understand what they are referring to

e.g. my friend refers to Blanchardstown as 'Blanch'

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

be warned, its the norm now to call it blanch! :eek:

31-03-2007 10:36PM

I'd better get out of Dublin soon then, before I become like Victor Meldrew from listening to people saying 'Blanch' then:p

It's just such an idiotic thing to call it.

Just because it's becoming the norm, doesn't make it right!

Addicting: a word used by Americans instead of addictive, as in "this game is so addicting you wont be able to stop playing".
Say addictive damn it!

RoyalMarine · 01-04-2007 12:44AM

few i hate...
"buff" as in more than attractive.. its a horrible phrase to use.

"boss" if i hear another person say "howya boss" ill end up killing them.

"scobe, chav, hermit, rad, wicked, ledge" come to mind aswell...

and of course, always the words i dread hearing "DJ Tim Westwood"
i feel sick when i hear those words.

bman · 01-04-2007 10:01AM

Do not like this word at all, 'Tis. Especially when written. Just type it is! IT IS only one character more!

L31mr0d · 01-04-2007 10:12AM

lol, I love irritating words like this... purely because of the reactions they cause in people, the gritting of the teeth and bearing it.

What I love is that I am the most unlikely person to be using these words, as i'm a mid 20's sysadmin who's about as "hip" as a cold sardine.

My current favourites are "So do live in NoDub or SoDub?", "uni-q" instead of unique and saying the letters "I dot E" for "i.e."

Then theres the old favourites "fosheezy i'm wheezy", "holla at me boy", "word", "this game is ova" - off the irritating JayZ HP ad... and so on..

i'm the guy you love to hate

connundrum · 01-04-2007 11:55AM

Right. At the end of every sentence, right, or before I take a breath, right, I'll say right, right, in a strange bid to affirm what I'm actually saying, right. And of course, right, if I were to hail from So-Dub, right, then I'd be pronouncing it roysh, roysh!

Actually. I'll start every fukcing sentence with the word actually. Actually, this makes me sound more matter-of-fact-like when I speak. Actually, I don't know if thats true, but I'll stick with it as it makes me feel good.

L31mr0d · 01-04-2007 12:55PM

Actually

thats the only thing that does get me, is word whiskers...

Like "like", "like ya know", "yaknowhaImean?", "whatchamacallit", "basically", "actually"... and so on, its not that it irritates me, but I find myself not listening to the person anymore and just counting how many times they repeat that whisker in the conversation.

What's great is when you highlight it to people, and they become extremely self aware that they are saying it over and over but they are helpless to stop themselves.

I wasn't going to respond till I saw these words. I have burst a blood vessel in my eye, trying to calculate how much I hate these words.

01-04-2007 01:35PM

Blanchardstown has nearly always been called Blanch though.

L31mr0d · 01-04-2007 10:16PM

also men who refer to there member as a mahoosive dong

most of us prefer it to be called massive donger. Is that one ok?

Alessandra · 02-04-2007 12:17AM

I hate it when people write/say "hun/hon". You'll be alright "hun". It really irritates me..

kraggy · 02-04-2007 12:29AM

I despise, deplore and hate the use of the following:

Cheers
Nice one
etc

Why do people have to employ so many English words and phrases?

And no offence, but Dubliners use these much more than the rest of us.

Have we lost our individuality as a nation altogether?

Very good. Fairplay to ya.

English as in the nation, not the language.

Okie · 02-04-2007 02:27AM

When people describe anything as......

"Quality" :mad:

Oh, Jesus, that boils my piss! Especially, if it's a real drawn out Lloyd Grossman type "Quaaaality" It's just fukin' wrong!

Gaaaaahhhhhhhhh! bangs head off desk

Ha, I take it we wouldn't get on then ... my favourite word these days. It works

Karl Hungus · 02-04-2007 09:59AM

I think I'll start saying "Och" and "Hoots mon!" seeing as nobody has objected to them yet.

Mrs_Doyle · 02-04-2007 10:22AM

Gash.
