There was a rep that used to call into us and every second word was "pal". His thick Tipperary accent made it sound even more patronising.

Hey relax guy.

Hank Scorpio · 18-06-2013 08:02PM

Or people that say son

To be fair it's a bit better than some of the greetings we have here. Two farmers meet on a country lane

Farmer 1; 'Well'

Farmer 2; 'Well'

and they continue on their way.

stefan idiot jones · 18-06-2013 08:05PM

Well boy, fancy a blaa ?

jobeenfitz · 18-06-2013 08:10PM

Don't see a problem. Just a figure of speech. Don't sweat the little things n all that. Stress n heart attacks not nice, I guess.

Buy yourself something nice.

"I'm not being funny right but......"

"passed from pillar to post"

"let's ave it right"

"innit"

Worked in a call center and those words drove me crazy after a while.

Focking love chicken in peaking sauce.

No I dont find it annoying when the English do it but it can be annoying hearing an Irish person say it. My friend always says it and if he wasn't such a nice bloke and four times the size of me I would of hit him straight in the gobber a long time ago.

n'ah mate

It's just an expression try to tune it out.

My Dublin colleague greets everyone with 'Whats the story' so far nobody has gotten annoyed or wondered what story he might be looking for.

We all have our expressions / verbal ticks I would just try not to focus on it.

Mate
