Things you say that are wrong

The OP's biggest problem is asking for a top-up for a phone number and not a network!

I don't say anything wrong. I'm wonderful.
<_<
>_>

My friend says "how's we can", as in, "let's go to the shop how's we can buy some sweets".

My Nanny says "a chester drawers" rather than "a chest of drawers". She also once told my cousin's friend "your face is very peculiar", she meant familiar :pac:

"you heading out tonight?"

"I amn't"

ruthloss · 03-07-2012 09:38AM

^lol

My Nan's favourite piece of music was "Cabinteely", (Cavantina).

"I seen him walking down the road 5 mins ago!"

"I'm going out tonight for a few bottles" - and then I proceed to drink pints

And of course the obligatory, "me" instead of "my"......."ah go and ask me hoop!"

I like to say brang and I often pluralise hair and pasta.

G'luck instead if good luck

Howiya instead of How are you?

My granny calls a singular Chinese person, or anyone else from east Asia - I doubt she has an eye for the subtle appearance differences involved, a Chinee. One Chinee, two Chinese.

I thanked your post but really I am thanking you for your username

The Dublin lads I know regularly take the pish for my needless inclusion of "all" in sentences

"Who ALL is going drinking tonight?"

But my whole family does it, and most other Westies I know!

I'm not with Zero Two.

Your phone number is zero eight. Your network provider is "o" two... not 0 (zero) two.

Something that got to me one night in the pub during the Euro's when Ireland were playing and an ould lad was calling Ronnie Whelan, "Ronnie Wailin'" and Shay Given, "Shay Givens" :rolleyes:

GastroBoy · 03-07-2012 10:20AM

"Do ye hear that smell"?

I say it, it makes no sense whatsoever........:rolleyes:

That should have been the least of your concerns watching Ireland play eehh take part in the Euros.

'Standing in a gate'. Said that to a Yank, they nearly wet themselves when I wanted a hand moving cattle.

'Pasgetti' instead of 'spagetti'.

'Are you right?' for 'Are you coming?' again the Yank nearly exploded.

When you are already majorly pissed off every little thing adds enormously to your ire! :mad:

Jabus, why would anyone who went to school talk like that?
Sure didn't the teacher learned us well.......:D

noname123 · 03-07-2012 11:03AM

I use double negatives a lot, only to find half way through the sentence that it isn't right.

scdublin · 03-07-2012 11:29AM

Apparently, I always say "coin" instead of "coins", no matter if it's one coin or several.
"Have you got coin today for the parking machine?"

A close friend of mine up till his early twenties thought it was called and handburger because you eat it with your hands, his reasoning is that it doesnt have ham in it......we got alot of mileage out of that one.

Ciaran0 · 03-07-2012 03:49PM

I used to say "morning" or "good morning" as a greeting at any point in the day. Strangely, an awful lot of people didn't even pick up on it. And this one is writing but still, I only found out a few months ago that "a lot" isn't all one word. I was shocked. I had alot a shock. It still looks right to me...
