Things you say that are wrong

Shankly Gates · 03-07-2012 12:44AM #1

It was just pointed out to me that I always say "Oh" when saying a phone number. As in "Can I have credit for Oh 8 6?". I have no idea why but I've been saying it so long that I never even thought about it.

The other ridiculous one I use is "Stall it" meaning let's move

What silly things do you folks say?

"Dat's righ', i rode yer sister las' nigh. twice."

Been told I say 'like' to much.

Quit with yur complaining about Irish colloquialisms

"What is love, when you don't hurt me, when you don't hurt me, no more?"

That's the only thing I say that's wrong, even though I know it's wrong. Unfortunately, I say it a lot.

Also, saying "oh" instead of "zero" isn't really wrong at all.

Anything I say in an argument with the GF.

Been calling newly registered cars from the past few years "zero eleven" or "zero twelve" etc instead of "twenty twelve".

"Its a zero twelve Toyota"

When I use the word couple, as in "I ate a couple of biscuits" or "I went there a couple of weeks ago", it does not necessarily mean two. It can be any low-ish number (greater than 1 but less than 10)

Since realising this I've tried to use the word "few" instead but sometimes "couple" will still escape my lips.

He hung himself. Hanged just sounds wrong to me!

How long will it take me to write code that'll do that? Oh it's an easy job, no more than a few days. The end of the week at the latest.

I'm waiting for the first person to post "i done", so i can track your ip, hunt you down and beat you to death with a junior infant English reader.

You are without doubt the most amazingly beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on.

The trousers are to be fitted. They fat him well.

Could you also include the first person to say 'I seen', please?

pragmatic1 · 03-07-2012 01:26AM

I say puck up rather than picked up a lot. Also use me in the place of my all the time.

Am I the only person who uses the term "worser"

That's exactly what "a couple of" means. "Couple" only means "two" when referring to "a couple," as in "a romantic couple." But "a couple of" has the exact same meaning as "a few:" an undefined small number.

I used to do this until not so long ago. I still find that the way I grip a fork is completey wrong. I know a lot of people that dont even know how to use one, and instead just use their hands :eek:

My sister always says blood shocked, when she means blood shot. She was mortified when she found out

whatsup? · 03-07-2012 03:34AM

The term "i do be" as in " i do be in town everyday" is wrong i'm told and is only said here as its a direct translation from Irish-bíonn me

Now how come Wikipedia didn't tell me that? I thought it knew everything. Illusions of life thus far completely shattered....
