    Words and phrases I hate. (Should probably be in R&R, Mods feel free to move if you want)

    Recessionary. Will you get to **** with that word. I swear, if anyone else says, "In these Recessionary times..." I'm going to punch them in the ovaries. (Its usually women)

    Babychino. Its the latest added to my list. Haven't heard it in conversation yet, but I saw it in the Cries of Retail thread in R&R, and it immediately got on my nerves.

    In this economic climate. Wanker. You really haven't a clue as to what's going on. But you've heard it used, and think it sounds good.

    Ute a mean. Someone here uses this exact phrase for "You know what I mean," and it irritates the hell out of me. Every time it's used, my spleen wants to bust out, and strangle them.

    Laul. Someone actually said LOL in conversation the other day. What, are you 12?

    I think the OP was referring to my post in R&R...

    Babychino = cappuccino for a child. Foam, chocolate powder on top and some mini marshmallows if you're feeling fancy.

    People who say it sound ridiculous! Just another one of those annoying Americanisms.

    I thought they were a tiny pair of chinos for a baby or something!

    "omg" - only women say this, any men who do so should have jaws broken, balls blended up and fed to them through a straw

    "Session on" - That's right, you're at a social gathering where alcoholic beverages are being dispensed....no need to clarify it so shut the fúck up.

    If you say the word "Babychino" I'd imagine you're already feeling fancy :pac:

    People, in general, are irritable, skittish and stupid.

    People who say this = tossers.

    Every time you hear this you should ask "move forward to where exactly?" & act genuinely puzzled. But breath heavily as you say it to add an element of creepiness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 593 ✭✭✭Scráib


    'Going forward': Business people use it too much in the office. What the hell is wrong with the phrase 'In future'? It makes more sense and isn't a buzz word that idiots use to sound clever.

    'Proactive'. Holy crap, I really hate this one. "Be proactive about it", "He's very proactive". I hate that buzzword, what's wrong with 'be energetic'?

    Generally office buzzwords grate on my nerves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,995 ✭✭✭Sofiztikated


    Oh, I forgot:

    Random.

    (Use it in a sentence, please Bob) I was feeling random the other day, and bough some food in a Polish/Lituanian shop...

    Immediately on my "You're a spa" list. Sad to say though, this does include some of my family, as they have used it on Facebook.

    Actually, while I'm at it:

    Friended

    As in, I friended you on Facebook. **** off with your friended.

    Any dumb-fuk corporate speak - "go the extra mile", "think outside the box" etc.

    Disclaimer: I've probably used every one of the annoying phrases that annoy me. :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭carab


    "Going forward................."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    "In the current climate"

    Anyone who says this does not deserve their own tongue.
    They should have to borrow someone elses and THINK before they speak.

    :mad:

    Oh, oh and another one
    " I'm so excited to go to the concert"

    Dunno why but that WRECKS my head.

    Oh and when you're on a fashion website and there's a link telling you to "Shop the collection"

    Arrrgh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,985 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    What about people who say basically 10 times in the space of 30 seconds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Pighead hates it when Freddy Fartypants lets one rip and proudly proclaims "Better out than in, eh eh eh?"

    Bollox it is Freddy. It's better in than out and you bloody well know it. By letting it out you have caused everybody in the room to go green due to the noxious odours of your arse innards. Keep it in and save it for later on when you are on your own or have invested in a pair of vacuum tight y-fronts.

    The flogging to death of the word "LIKE", like.
