"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.

add to that words like "hearty", "wholesome", and "nourishing".
stop trying to make your processed cr*p sound remotely healthy.

Xmas

Not sure how you can replace Christ with an X.

It was a symbol used by early Christians. The Greek for Christ is Χριστός, the Greek letter 'Χ' being an equivalent of 'ch'.

'Fashion forward'

'On trend'

'24/7'

I been/I seen/I done.....no you damn well didn't! You were or have been/saw or have seen/did or have done.

Every time I hear some-one use one of these I want to explode. It cannot be that difficult to use the correct grammar.

'Narrative' - makes me think the person using this word doesn't have an idea on how to express their opinion on the subject

'pulled' chicken, 'pulled' pork - surely its just shredded meat, and not 'pulled' off the bone by 'artisan' butchers.

Michael Noonan's use of 'two sixteen' when referring to 2016.

'installation' when referring to art - to me its usually a pile of crap.

The "pulling" is done by the cook/chef, not the butcher. So you're right, while simultaneously not knowing what you're talking about.

"My bad". I almost blush when I hear someone say it.

Matt_Trakker · 14-10-2015 10:59AM

Really? No sh!t, you work with a colleague?
Numpties.

Another one is "people person"
Usually HR moronic knobheads.

'Trick or treating'.

What ever happened to "Penny for the pookey/pookah"?

Smash.

"Good luck with your exams, hope you smash it!" F off.

Selfie. It's just a photograph, you know, like people have been taking for over a hundred years...do we really need a new (moronic) word for it?

razorblunt · 14-10-2015 12:39PM

Could of.
Should of.
Would of.

I also don't understand the word "fam" or the abbreviation "smh", I believe they're some sort of slang.

Was about to Oi! there. But apparently Ireland uses the American short scale.

"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.

It's getting absolutely ridiculous alright. I think I see a new one nearly every day at this stage. The Asian Street Food crash is coming, surely.

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

There is one thing that I find even worse than this, only started happening recently, and went combined with the "should of" thing becomes downright unholy.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but for some bizzare reason, native English speakers seem to have lost ability to use the correct past tense forms, both verbally, and written. So "should have gone" becomes "should of went". WHAT THE FUCCKINNG FUCCK :mad: :mad:

It makes me want to go on a fuccking shooting spree, and the worst thing is it seems to be gaining traction! I hear it on the radio, see it in articles, etc. Any old dope can be an editor now it seems!
