It's the "amen" of smug ba$tards, fcukin hate it.

Bang on. That and so much more that I couldn't even begin to start.

This word is not only verbal cowardice masquerading as insight it is also often used in written form on Boards a lot too....actually.

there are some words that should be only used by doctors... i hate when normal people say 'breasts'...
There are millions of alternatives, why, oh why oh why....

If you're watching a baseball game on ESPN it's fine

If you telephone somebody to "touch base" you deserve a slap

Rage! At the end of a sentence. As in you're raging your wrong.

mikemac

Oh and "period"

As in my team is the best....period!

Don't understand why you tack that onto the sentence at all.
Seems people add it to ensure nobody can possibly doubt their claim or argue back.

pissflaps..............i hate it.
i was once on a bus coming home from a club and this girl shouted at her boy friend "when we get home your going to suck the piss flaps off me"
turned my stomach,she was hot but if she said that to me,not a hope of it.

Laundry! (I've got a pile to wash I've been putting off)

Any word which has had "-ality" added to the end of it. It drives me mad whenever I hear GAA muppets talking about a game's "physicality" or Sinn Fein being asked to put an end to "criminality"!:mad:

Lets just throw this out and see if the cat licks it up.

Just listen to Tanaiste Mary Coughlan any day of the week. She said "pro forma" once!

Wiki -
The term pro forma (Latin "as a matter of form") is a term applied to practices that are perfunctory, or seek to satisfy the minimum requirements or to conform to a convention or doctrine. It has different meanings in different fields.

Actually, i realise now I dont hate the word pro forma - just Mary Coughlan!

its not the words, but the accents and the way people say it.
like a few people from my area of dublin

"howaya"



and the classic (shouting at me when im walking by) "HERRE, CHUNGFELLA! HAV'YA GOT A MOKE?"

in english, thats "excuse me young man, do you have a cigarette?"

I hate when people use "do be" ... it's ridiculous sounding!

"I do be in school every week"

"Well, it does be seeming that they don't be teaching you anything, thicko!"

:mad:

Why do people use it? Is the normal present tense not good enough for them?

Barnstorm

Awesome. I shudder when I hear that word. Unfortunately people who seem to think they are my friends use it when they talk to me. I feel like slapping them.

lalee17

The overuse of the word "epic".

Aidric

Frankly.

Wurly

Delicious!!! I f*ckin cant stand that word. It sounds so poncey or something.

I also HATE when people say they are feeling x 'at the minute'. I don't know why but its sooooooooooooooo annoying to me.

Another thing..... And sorry in advance.. ha ha. But it gets on my tits when people from the country put H's in words where there isn't a H. Examples? Shtop, Shmoke, Shtate and so forth.:mad:

Also - pussy. Hate it. If anyone referred to my lady as my pussy, they'd be gone. Its a rotten word.

No word in particular bugs me, however, the phrase "Going forward" drives me up the wall.

I'm guilty of using it - only at work though! And I cringe everytime I say it or type it! I only use it because everyone around me says it - it's like osmosis!


I dislike the word 'feet'. I don't quite know why.

My name is URL

Indubitably - I can just imagine some uppler-class bloke with a monocle when I hear that word

GirlInterrupted

I dislike 'cowardly' because its possibly my least attractive personality trait, and I dislike 'gossip' because of the way it feels in my mouth when I say it.

The phrase I have absolute loathing for is 'Face-time'.

Quite.

brummytom

Probably been said a million times, but any Americanisms... Awesome, Elevator, Missing out 'u's when spelling words like 'Colour'... irritating

thelittleone

The word ****.... its horrible! and Ive heard people refering to bad experiences etc as ****..... shudder!!!!

DublinWriter

I love all words, but hate certain phrases.

"Going forward" makes me physically ill.

Het-Field

When something is prefixed with "I would like to take this opportunity"

It guarantees that some mad ares licking is about to ensue, or a harsher then necessary rebuke is on the way.

It pisses me off when people "take the opportunity"

netwhizkid

I hate "like" You know loike bud!

rednik

Mate.

"Alright mate hows it going."
"F*ck off I aint your mate and I don't work on a ship."

I hate the word gaff. Hate it. It makes me shudder.

As for misuse of phrases "revert back" has to be one.

Shanotheslayer

When fellas describe girls as ''wet''

Duggy747

I hate the term "Rock Chick"

Drives me soft for some reason.

Not just one word but two........LAST ORDERS.

Cringe is another annoying word you use. Quirky is another stupid word in fact it isn't even a word.

Im Lovin'

When people say Im lovin' your shoes at the moment...

I'm sooo loving your post daaahling. Is it Chanel? :pac:

Overblood

Anything that ends in "icity" or "ocity".

!

Im.

Im is the Irish for butter so why use it in your sentences when you can't think of what to say next.
