    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 :-(
    Similar to the reason I hate phone networks referring to "all you can eat data". YOU CAN'T EAT IT!!!

    Simples. Often used by Boards users, the condescending types.

    I'm another 'Happy Out' hater.

    WTF? I've definitely only started hearing it or reading it here in the last year or so but anyone I hear using it in conversation always insists they've always said it.

    Is this now a thing that Irish people say?

    Is the likes of EastEnders to blame for this?

    "Jog on - mate"

    I am London-Irish, lived in London for 33 years, and Ireland the last 6. The funny thing is, I never heard anyone say; jog on in London. The first I heard of it was in Dublin. Although by that stage Danny Dyer and Football Factory type films had popularised the saying like a social cancer. These things come and go.
    When I was young everything was safe; safe trainers man. Then it was bad. That's a bad tune man. And now we have sayings like jog on; its no different to what's the craic? Or what's the story? These things are popular for a while, then it reaches saturation point and people get bored and move on to the next one. Savage, gas, fierce, wild, etc. All just words of the time.
    Gay used to mean happy for example. And in years to come telling someone to jog on may well have a different meaning to f.uck off.
    One thing I have noticed is that the internet has meant teens are using more American sayings in Ireland than previously.
    Another thing is that in London, more cockneys are using Jamaican Yardi slang. Times change I suppose, language and fashions.

    I agree with all on this thread.

    I will ass 'Amazeballs' to the list

    Although it is a handy, and quick way to spot a wanker.

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


    This more than anything spread it like a social cancer. Although I loved the film at the time, it made me sell my Stone Island jumpers and Raso Gommato coat on Ebay.
    After that film everyone assumed you must be a casual and Chelsea fan that enjoys a tear up on the terraces at Stamford Bridge as you wore Stone Island.
    All the Chelsea hooligans loved their Stone Island, but I was wearing it long before that. So many fake cockneys after that film, and so many fake casuals.

    I concur.
    Anyone that says totes should be either sterilised or deported.
    D4 accent on a girl with her saying totes amazeballs: living hell.

    This is becoming endemic - particularly noticeable on Boards. ('kinda', 'Do the Math', 'Pissed - meaning angry, 'Reaching out' - meaning contacting, 'Damn, that was a good..' 'enough already' 'I could care less'.....)

    I remember a guy I used to work with, when someone was annoying him or even in a general exchange of banter, would drawl, in his fetching Dublin accent, "will you ever rev up and fck off." Always loved hearing it and, to his credit, he didn't overuse it but saved it up for special circumstances.

    Another phrase which has been around years but seems to have become ubiquitous recently is "phoning it in", or sometimes to change thiings up, "mailing it in" in reference to somebody making a half-hearted or token effort at something. While not a bad phrase in itself, hearing or reading it so commonly now is beginning to grate.

    Agreed.
    The young girls with their hybrid D4/California accents and sayings kill me. Especially when its put on by girls outside of Dublin who are not Dubs. It seems to be spreading all over the country.
    The day when someone says; all set? At the dinner table will be a sorry one.
    Another one I hate is; let's touch base. F.uck off with your Americunt corporate speak. No I don't want to do some blue sky thinking and break through that glass ceiling target in the boiler room you dick.

    One observation I have made of both Paddies and Yardies alike.
    Neither can pronounce the TH in words like them, things, etc.
    It's always dem tings etc.
