I use those two a lot.

What I find few Irish person say is "pardon" (particularly when pronounced pawdon)

It's spelled cupboard.

The word "Poppycock" isn't used nearly enough in this country.

"Hmmm, I don't think that the baby jebus loves all boys this way father"

But only in that particular order.

that wrong about "Sorry". in fact, I get pissed off with the way people use it here all the time. it is almost the mating call of the Irish shopper as they pick their way around Grafton street, all you hear is sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

You walk along talkng on your mobile not looking where you are going, knock some poor old women flying, help her to her feet and the first thing she says is "sorry"

She should be saying you clumsy tosser.

Actually, there's another one, Tosser

Saying "sorry" instead of "excuse me" or "pardon me". I'm a terrible culprit of this, getting lectures off people asking me what the hell am I apologising for.

It's a knee-jerk reaction, sorry.

Antiquing.
