TA’d that I’m starting work at 6am on Friday

Rubberlegs · 03-03-2019 8:37pm

I was doing a handy dinner tonight, pizza, wedges and garlic slices. As usual I put on too much and am brewing a nosebleed looking at the leftovers. Pizza will likely get eaten tomorrow but not the wedges and garlic slices

Anniversary of Beast from the East; why was it that people went crazy for Brennan's Bread? It's not even a very good bread. Bog standard doughy white sliced pan.

I put on the Robbie Williams programme on TG4 to sing along with the old songs, but he's turned into Daniel O'Donnell.

Ma, mammy , ole doll , mam , all acceptable but 'mom'? Feck off with that ****e.

or an Irish person who refers to their mother as mum. We're not English, you know.

MuffinTop86 · 04-03-2019 2:40am

I say mum. If I said ole doll I’d get a well deserved clip around the ear. That’suggests a neediness to me.
Not a big fan of “the folks” either, or when used as a greeting.

Because people are idiots. I knew the minute a few drops of snow fell I'd see "hilarious" bread jokes on social media. Well here's one for you, those got stale almost as soon as they happened the first time. Almost makes you wanna wreck a Lidl.

Trying to park the car in a snow covered train station. Impossible to see line markings.

Ariadne · 04-03-2019 8:23am

Considering that ole doll means girlfriend in Cork, it's not something I'd be calling my mother

I nicked myself shaving - hate that

Just realised between one thing and another I haven't driven my car since last Friday week and the brake discs are all rusty.

EDIT I also realised I've no cash on me, well maybe €5 in loose change, I don't need any really but I'm kinda old school and like something in the wallet other than plastic.

Beg to differ, had four slices of their Wholegrain product this am at approx 0645 and by 0730 I was on the bowl sluicing out a nice baton with minimum effort.

Their product does its job, as far as I can ascertain, no complaints here.

Today's trivial annoyance is brought to you by the patronising, sexist arse I had over to fix a problem in the apartment today. He briefly explained what the cause of the problem was and asked if I understood. I said I did and clearly meant it. He still explained it again, slower and with more elaborate hand gestures, practically drawing a picture and asked again if I understood. And again.

When I said yes again (and again) he said "oh you do, do you? Are you suuuure?" A prickish, patronising smirk spread over his face when he saw he was annoying me. I half expected him to pat me on the head and call me "Little Lady." There aren't enough rolling eyes emoji in the world.

Yea it has , my guess is it stems from the Irish word " mamai " or Mamó . They are pronounced Momaí / Momó so it seems to have come from that

I've never heard anyone say "mom" in Cork. Mam or Mammy are the only way I ever recall hearing it pronounced.

I assumed the first post in relation to this was talking about the written version though, not the spoken version. No one this side of the Atlantic should ever write "Mom".

I only spoke of what I hear in west Cork as have other posters mentioned too . Maybe its a gaeltacht area use
I have no idea why you have a problem with people who call their mother Mom also writting that as Mom ?
My nieces from West Cork text me and mention their Mom . No clue as to why shouldn't ?

freshpopcorn · 04-03-2019 5:15pm

I live in North cork most people here use the word mam. Some might use mammy at times.
I have heard of people say me ma more so in the city.
I remember I came across the word mom once. It was from a well respected family who were on the Cork/Kerry border.

Because different things annoy different people. Even trivial things.

The Cork accent in general annoys me coz I had a very patronising uncle from Cork. So everytime I hear a west Cork lilt my shackles are raised.
He did describe his mother as Mom though and he would be well into his 80s now.

Thats true I suppose ! We all have our trivial annoyances ! I love the Cork accent but then again my uncles were all lovely !

Ariadne · 04-03-2019 5:56pm

Another Corkonian who says mom here, most of my friends from Cork say mom as well. Some say mam alright so it just depends.

Minding my littlest niece this evening and she has been asking for “blue on blue” for the last hour and I’ve no idea what she’s saying. I can’t text her mam as she’s in a meeting and my dancing isn’t working at distracting her.

freshpopcorn · 04-03-2019 6:10pm

Take the surname Coughlan.
It's pronounced different in different parts of Cork.
Some people don't even relies it's the same surname.
PS it doesn't annoy me.

It just seems so American. American expressions, spellings and accents just annoy me - trivially, of course!

I owe you an apology as I never considered Cork outside the city

I don't like the words gaff, gatt, sambo, Chrimbo.

I bought some nice looking brown soda bread today, I'm having some with a cuppa and it's almost tasteless, disappointed.

That just brought back a childhood memory ! We had neighbours called Coughlan . My mam called them the Cocklans , my dad called them the Cawlans ! As a child I couldn't figure it out

Where I'm from it's Cocklan and in the city it's Cawlan.
We had a local up in court wit the surname Coughlan and RTE news called her Cawlan and not many coped on to who she was but then they called her Cocklan at another appearance in court and they did.
