    Using the word fit to describe someone as sexually attractive.

    I hate the word ''session''. Like when people say ''oh Friday night will be some session'' or ''town tonight, session on''. I'm like, CRINGE!

    Also I've seen and heard people say ''ah da boy the kid'' or something along those gibberish lines. I think it means ''well done''.

    Whenever I hear some woman talking about her "hubby", I picture some poor hen-pecked bastard, who hasn't managed to get a word in since he said "I do".

    And as for those sad idiot women who refer to their boyfriends as "hubby"... Grr

    +1 on the Cockney Rhyming.

    One of the lads is finding himself being left out of events because of his constant use of it.

    Just their on St Stephen's night, he was talking about is Neighbour and the fact that he got a really cool Dog & Bone despite being on the Rock n Roll, he even scored a deadly leather Tennis Racquet.

    70% of his sentences are slang of some shape or another. At Electric Picnic he insisted on asking every one what their Moniker was instead of what their name is. He actually began to feel a bit superior when everyone gave him a blank 'WTF are you on about' look:rolleyes:

    Yeah just try to imagine Mika trying to impersonate a chav;

    "Big birds they be fit and all,
    Big birds they be fit and all"

    It just doesn't make sense.

    I'd have thanked your post if you'd left out the following:
    I'm like, CRINGE!

    Inkeeping with annoying D4 (rather than 'chav') slang, 'random banter' is, and always will be, the king of phrases that make me want to punch faces (that almost rhymes! :) )

    In my neck of the woods, "Innit" and "bruv" at the end of every sentence are what irritates me most. I look down my nose at people who talk like that.

    I don't like them as people.

    schtaaaaary brother! giz smoke burrah* *no idea what that word is or how it's spelled.

    If I was your brother I'd jump off a bridge.

    Chavy in my books is English slang. So being Irish I don't have much experience of chavs!

    But hate when football fans over here sing their songs with an Engerlish accent

    I've a soft spot for old school Dublin-ese

    But don't like the likes of:

    A package of crips
    Inanyways
    I aksed her

    I despise American slang being used over here;

    Douchebag
    Jerk

    Most D4isms wreck my face.

    Point of probs, loike.
    Morto
    Oh moy gaaawd
    Are you actuall

    All kinds of slang especially chav talk! Drives me up the wall listening to it when I cannot comprehend what the person is saying! I have to ask someone to translate! The notion of 'chalk it down' is rubbish (meaning seriously) Makes no sense! The word meet as in 'kiss', I couldn't understand it I thought it meant meeting up with someone not necessarily kiss. Tis weird though. It confused me when I first heard it. I can understand the american and irish slang at least but the chav/english slang drives me up the wall when I cannot understand what they are saying. Its like they speak double dutch or another language to me! Speak some decent English comprende please! More manners to speak properly though!

    One other phrase that annoys me: 'You alright love!'

    In most parts its a filum.

    Legend is another annoying one.

    'Did you see on the news some little kid ran into a trolley and fell over?'

    'no way'

    'way'

    It might be annoying to some people but at least you can understand what they mean/referring to unlike some other slang.

    The word 'chav' taken straight from British television in the past year or two by Irish people who have nothing better to do than watch, and integrate into their lives, the latest terminology and trends in British popular/knacker culture.

    Edit: oh, and not forgetting "high street"! :rolleyes:

    Think the Vicky Pollard generation wins out don't you think?

    I wonder did people always complain about slang?


    when people started using cool, did people ask "why are you saying cool? you are not an african american jazz musician!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy


    people that say there are loads of randomers around:rolleyes:.eg ''omg loike we were in x last night for a few drinks and there was so many randomers around.fcuking morto!''


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Lollipop95


    it really annoys when people say things like "You was" and "We was" instead of "You were" and "We were" I don't know why,but it really does my head in!

    D4's saying "delish" for everything.

    "That goal Rooney scored was delish"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭irishproduce


    I absolutely cannot stand the word "cheers"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Was in a pub on Harcourt Street and there was a lad beside me ordering drinks.

    "Two AG's please", he says.

    Barman looks absolutely bewildered. "Two what?"

    The lad then sighs as if the barman should know what he's talking about.

    "Two Arthur Guinness' obviously"

    Twat.

    I hate the word "snog"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 437 ✭✭t1mm


    D4 slang in general gets on my nerves. I could listen to Dublin scummers all day long and find their slang funny, but words like "ken" (heineken), "bills" (money) and "delish" (delicious) tend to piss me off
