The phrase "jog on"

gormdubhgorm

Is this now a thing that Irish people say?

Is the likes of EastEnders to blame for this?

"Jog on - mate"

The origins of the phrase are actually Swedish,comes from Johogorn meaning to keep moving.

Dont let it upset you OP, get out and enjoy the nice weather!

The beauty of language is that it evolves as we use new words and expressions. Embrace the change.

Nah, have you seen the fitness level of a lot of Irish people, no chance of them jogging anywhere

I always thought it was a vaguely scouse thing. Certainly growing up in Birkenhead, I heard it an awful lot.

I'll see your "jog-on" and raise you a "sorry bout you"

RebelButtMunch

Get the boat!

donegaLroad

I have never heard anyone saying that.

AnonoBoy

I like it.

It's insulting but also promotes exercise.

It's a whole lot better healthwise than the famous old phrase "P*ss off and eat a donut you mug!"

I first heard it in that Simon Pegg movie Hot Fuzz, so about 10 years ago. Are you saying it goes back further than that?
I quite like the phrase. The only thing wrong with it is it's no good if you're seething with rage. But in a situation where you just want to express irritation with a slightly annoying person, it's useful.

It hasn't quite got the same ring as "get the boat ya bleeeedin' dzope"

thegreatgonzo

I get annoyed when people say rinse and repeat when they are talking about anything other than hair washing or something that involves actual rinsing.
And there's a stupid song out called rinse and repeat to make it worse :-(

I remember people saying that in school in Limerick about 20 years ago

gramar

'no biggie' is one of the many that annoy me.

HensVassal

Sling your 'ook, you caaannnt!

I'm bringing this one back. And 'pull your neck in, ya clown.'

Two good ones.

Something being 'well good' or 'well nice' is one that I'm hearing more and more often.

Yeah? I was born in 93, and I've been hearing it my whole life on Merseyside and what not.

Football Factory is 12 years old, it's hardsly a new phrase

I think I first heard the phrase in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels about 18 years ago.

Oh wait, it might have been in RocknRolla. Damn. Now I'll have to watch both films to make sure.

Arghus

I've seen it written, but not once heard it said.

It's one of those affected geezerisms that sound strange coming out of anybody round here.

I hate this one.. it makes no sense whatsoever!

At least "jog on" has some sort of logic to it, as in "move along/f*ck off" but "Happy out" is just nonsense!
