It's also the Maori word for food... So I imagine someone on the bottom rung if life getting desperate and roasting up their youngest on a hog spit for dinner. Wayne Rooney dancing around a fire, cannibal style comes to mind.

The words "claptrap" and "tripe."

Almost exclusively used by Irish male middle-aged-and-older know-it-alls.

Hiffle and piffle and old plum-pud. Balderdash, horlicks and the leathery end of meballacks!

When someone puts the same spoon they used to stir the tea into the sugar bowl.
I just want to fire all the sugar from the bowl into their cup because they have just ruined the perfect white of the sugar with a dirty sticky brown bit. Gob****e.

Also, the fact that this thread is like a tome yet there seems to be no 'Trivial things that make your day' thread

In light of recent developments, I'm annoyed this thread is more successful than the one above

Is this after seeing the Irish Times thread?

That OP trivially annoyed me.

MJ23 · 10-08-2014 12:53am

People with no appreciation for anything. They don't know they're born.

"Ooze", "gunk" and "chunks".

Disgusting.

This!!

This saying annoys me, my friend uses it, what is it even supposed to mean! "don't know they're born!" clearly they are aware of the fact, ridiculous saying, up there with the likes of "you can't have your cake and eat it" well eh... what the fuck else are you supposed to with the poxy cake if you can't eat it!

Omackeral · 10-08-2014 10:54am

Having your cake and eating it too really means once you eat it, it's gone. Therefore, you don't have it anymore. So you can have it there with the knowledge there's delicious delicious cake to come... but if you eat it, you won't have that promise anymore. That's how I interpret it anyway.

It means they don't know how lucky they are.

There's no connection between the intended meaning and the actual words, though.

Yeah I heard this interpretation recently, and finally it makes sense. If you have it, then you've not eaten it. If you eat it, you don't have it. The two scenarios can't co-exists. So, you can't have your cake AND eat it.

I think the emphasis needs to be placed on the "and" in order for it to work. Most of us interpret the "and" as meaning "and then."

i.e. "you can't have your cake and then eat it." <

makes no sense

but "you can't have your cake AND eat it" <

FINALLY makes sense.

Aren't the whole point of proverbs like that that they're simple to understand?

Even when you understand it it sounds stupid :pac:

I never heard of the born one - 'Something something know you're born'

Someone please explain.

I was too lazy to read back through the thread to find the saying. I'm having a lazy Sunday, can't be exerting myself too much, you know yourself.

My trivial annoyance for today:

I bought a loin of pork for dinner but now I can't be arsed cooking it. But I really want it. Someone come and cook for me! :pac:

Only if you come and make breakfast for me. I'm too lazy (and trivially annoyed) to bother.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 10-08-2014 3:54pm

When people are mad as **** with you but won't tell you why. My housemate, the one I'd get on best with (and the one who felt me up a few weeks ago) is being so weird with me. He won't talk to me anymore, he walks in and ignores me. He's just being so weird. Today I cornered him and asked him what's wrong did I make him mad, he was just like "no darlin' just watching the telly" but he couldn't get out of the room fast enough. So weird!

JUST TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG LETS SORT IT AND MOVE ON

Hate awkwardness

homemadecider · 10-08-2014 3:56pm

I am trivially annoyed by people who constantly create drama, and then say "Oh god why is my life so hard?"

It's because you're a dingus, that's why!!

Also I opened the squeezy honey and it squeezed itself all over my sleeve.

I think we can safely put that cake proverb down as one of the dumbest in history - not because it doesn't make sense but because it's ridiculously complicated. I'd say the only reason it's still around is because of the confusion surrounding it.

You get on best with the one who felt you up, and you think he's weird?

OK so. I can see how that can be awkward alright.

Omackeral · 10-08-2014 3:59pm

Paying to use the toilet in certain shopping centres. WTF is that about? I'm off to make a thread.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 10-08-2014 4:00pm

Also passive aggressive people who get way too fixated with people online that they're never going to meet. Kinda weird tbh!

He's my closest friend in the house. We had an awkward situation. Thought it was dealt with. Thought he was grand with me, I wasn't off with him. Things were okay and now all of a sudden for no reason he's completely off with me. I didn't do anything, I haven't said anything so see no reason why he's being like he is. And I'm not imagining it either, my friend stayed here last night and she'd know how well we usually get on and she was like wtf is going on, you can cut the tension with a knife.

It's just that I'm moving out on Tuesday and don't want to leave things on a bad note with him.

If it was an amazing toilet with a man called Jeeves handing me toilet roll I wouldn't be annoyed by it but the toilets you pay for are at most equal to average. If you want me to pay to have a piss at least make it a place I want to piss in again.

On my third crap film of the day. The 20 minute rule has been applied twice now.
Only God Forgives - rubbish, turned it off after 20 minutes
Force of Execution - Depressing drivel, off after 20 minutes
I have 'No One Lives' on now. Might be third time lucky. Seems meh so far. Probably be going off soon.

We've been having Twin Peaks marathon nights over the weekend. I'd forgotten how creepy, weird and quirky it was. Maybe watch something retro

Kilkenny Hurling manger Brian Cody and his f**king hat. That poxy hat and him are never apart. I imagine he eats his dinner while wearing it and sleeps with the wife while wearing it.

The new ad for Sky Sports for €1. Yer wan playing the Banjo and the Douchebag going around on the scooter.
Also the itsforwomen.ie ad. How can they be allowed put this sexist rubbish on the television? I think Katie Taylor should get checked out for brain injury from all that boxing. Those dead eyes and monotone voice should send alarm bells to those who care for her.

What's the full deal with that offer? I heard on the radio you can get Sky Sports for €1 for six months. I'm assuming that afterwords they implement a hefty increase and there's nothing you can do about it because in the fine print you agreed to sign up for the next twenty years?

Yep I think that's it.

Setanta sports/BT Sport have a €1 for a month deal on for the month of August I think, and you can just cancel at the end of the month and that's the end of it. There's a bargain alerts thread I think on it.

It's a one month contract, which means you only have to keep it for one month minimum.

To cancel, you give them 31 days cancellation notice.

It'd go something like this:

Ring Sky
Ask for the Sports €1/month for six months offer
Five months later, ring and say you're giving your one month cancellation notice for the Sports
Hey presto, you got six months of Sky Sports for six euro

having to touch taps and doors on the way out of a public toilet. In Milan every toilet door was kickable open on the way out and every tap had a foot pump or a sensor. In Dublin if the tap doesnt get me after going to the trouble of deep cleansing my hands the door does. yep I am completely nuts but in a trivial way

lol
