    People who write "should of" instead of "should have" or "would of" instead of "would have " did anyone who writes this ever study English in school

    Not a word as such but someone I know on Facebook when typing sentences puts a capitol letter on every single word in the sentence,

    Every
    Single
    Word !!!

    Can I also add the letter Z as well. Why would someone use Z instead of S when writing the plural of something. Why ???

    "Netflix and chill" seems to be the latest way to spot idiots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,760 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how

    Really hate any of those phrases.
    Find them so pretentious.

    Teh, should of, WhEN peOpLe wRItE lYk DIs, check your privilege, sheeple, liberal (as an insult), St. Pattys day, feminist, meninist,so random (for completely non random events), could of, 'new' atheism, libtard, I can't even...,
    I sometimes see
    People online, especially on
    Boards where for some reason they
    Start new
    Paragraphs like this in the
    Middle of sentences.
    And I agree with what a lot of people have said already about terms like bae, squad goals, fleek etc. I know language changes but fúck me, it seems to be going in a strange direction...

    I remember when banter was a legitimate word used usually for light hearted ribbing and general fun conversation. I recently saw a picture of three young lad's (14 or 15) who all looked like dìckheads with Justin Bieber haircuts and #hairbantz underneath the picture..

    Use of the "cheeky" when someone is describing the act of consuming food or drink....

    Cheeky Pint
    Cheeky Starbucks
    Cheeky Nandos

    Usually followed by the phrase "Be rude not too"

    Boils my piss

    I haven't a clue what most of the terms in this thread mean.....

    ... and I'm glad! :)

    Any phrases from "DublinGirlo" that are used in real life by real life people.

    "First World Problem"

    We live in the First World. Therefore, it's a problem. If something annoys you or affects you, it doesn't matter if it's not as serious as what people in the Third World face, it's still a problem.

    'Nom nom nom' after posting a pic of your food. Unfriended
    Seriously, nobody or nothing has ever made that noise while eating, and if anything ever did I seriously hope it was killed with fire shortly afterwards.

    Search youtube for "Cookie Monster"

    "Cookie Monster ..... is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases: "Me want cookie!", "Me eat cookie!", and "Om nom nom nom" (said through a mouth full of food)."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_Monster

    That said, I agree with the general point you're making :)

    Legend

    Has been overused so much that it's lost all meaning. It seems that everyone is a "legend" these days.

    People spelling it "ledgend" just make it so much worse.

    PC, political correctness, SJW ...they can all be translated as "waaah, I can't be a complete cock anymore without people pointing out that I'm being a complete cock!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere

    Jesus I hate when people use this word.

    Christ - Where to begin? the following terms either mean nothing anymore or are used exclusively by idiots (in many cases both)

    "Gone Viral". It seems if you get 2 retweets or 2 likes something you have done has "gone viral" nowadays

    "Gourmet" - put a piece of cheese ona pice of meat nowadays and it is "gourmet". Guess what, it isn't.

    "Artisan". This word especially means nothing at all anymore.

    "Irish mammy". Just no.

    "Asian Street Food". Not sure is this just a Cork thing, but every single Chinese is now "Asian Street Food", certainly all the new ones. I think they are missing the point and again it is a term which means precisely nothing anymore.

    And slightly OT - but Joe.ie :pac:
