    People need to stop saying "I'm just saying" to follow an insult. It is NOT an excuse.

    "I/We/they have slept together"

    NO - there was no SLEEPING.
    Ye were shagging like a good thing - there was fcuk... all... sleeping! GRRRRR!!!!!!

    That one really annoys me every time I hear/read it.

    You humped the arse off her.
    You rode her/him silly.
    You DIY'd the whipped cream!
    You made whoopi!
    You had a quickie!
    You played the funky monkey.
    You went schtupping.
    You did the funky chicken.
    You done the wild thing.
    You were bumping uglies.
    You buttered the muffin.
    You tapped that ass.
    You knocked the boots off him!
    You done the nasty!
    You got a hole in one.
    You pounded the cat!
    You banger her so hard in the arse, she can't sit for a week!
    You fcuked her sideways!
    You cracked his nuts!
    You whipped the rod out and went poking!
    You diddled her pussy.
    You pulled his mackerel and it spit back at you!


    What you did not do was sleep!

    If ye just SLEPT with each other - how the fcuk did ya knock her up!
    (Should we just call ya Joseph and Mary? Another immaculate conception?)

    These are fine if used in sentences, but not fine at all if used as a statement itself:
    Win.
    Fail.
    Epic win.
    Epic fail.

    Also, the use of the word "retarded" as meaning "inconvenient".

    MILF. An absolutely disgusting word to call a woman. It sounds like mould or something. "Yuck, there's milf growing on my bread".

    "Briefly!", especially when spoken by that cow Olivia O'Leary (and her clones) on RTE. If the bitch doesn't want to let people reply to her stupid questions in a precise and measured way, she shouldn't ask them for interviews. And those who are being interviewed should tell her to go and get herself fcuked if she tries to hustle them along in the bullying way she does.:D:D:D

    mum-what else do you call her? mother? mammy? noooooooo!
    lol-i dont use it unless i genuinely DO laugh out loud at something!

    it bugs the **** out of me when people use big words in the wrong context to sound intelligent-'we were so tired with anticipation':rolleyes:
