Words/phrases that irritate you.

The use of the word "period" instead of "full stop".



I'm starting to worry about myself. I really shouldn't care so much about such things.

"Pacific" instead of "specific." Wonderfully, one of the people I heard making this mistake was my Geography teacher!

I had a geography teacher who wrote "Sahara Dessert" on the board.

"Happy out"

I fcuking hate that too. Also, 'happy days'. :mad: P!ss off!

Another thing that annoys (and it may have already been said) is whenever there's a scandal of any kind or a publicity stunt gone wrong etc, there's always 'gate' at the end. The iPhone antenna problem is the most recent example I've come across - antennagate. I mean c'mon!

Just thought of another one: ''expect the unexpected''. What?! Make sense!!!

Ok heres mine, they are a mixture between belfast and derry people.

-Norn iron- we do not live in a piece of bloody iron!
-naow- its now.
-Thar-its there!
-wan- its one.
-them ins in a derry accent.
-nat- its not.
-county down accent.
-A derry accent.
-A belfast accent.
-A dublin accent.
-When people from over the border think that northern ireland people speak like belfast people, when our accents are totally different to that, mines is nothing like a belfast one, the belfast ones probably wouldn't understand the really strong coleraine/ballymoney accent.
-lik- its like and you don't say it in every scentence!
-When a derry person gets angry it sounds so annoying, it sounds like someone nagging you!
-Waitin- its waiting.
-When a derry person trys to sound snobby, it comes out sounding worse than their own accent, theres a teacher in my school that comes from derry and he trys to do this i feel like smashing him!! UGH

'Nobody could have seen it coming'

Vehicle as pronounced by Gardai on Crimeline - 'Veh-hick-el'

Lets explain it like this most people on country roads drive around the bends as if there is no car coming in the opposite direction. When they meet a car around the bend they never expected it and have to swerve. Now tell them the next time before they drive around a bend to expect the unexpected. When they expect a car coming they avoid a possible crash if there is no car there they have lost nothing. But then if they expected it it wasn't unexpected. You know you are right it is a stupid saying.

One phrase that really irritates me is the constant reference on Irish Radio stations to 'In Studio', and "Thanks for coming into Studio", "Thank you for being "In Studio", back to Studio now, Joining me now "In Studio" is, I am now "In Studio" with . . . etc etc etc, and its just so constant, every bloody day, on every blasted Irish Radio Station, "In Studio" me bum > does my bloody head in that does

Fingers in mouth - vomit.

Without trawling through the previous 15 pages (too lazy and too old to be bothered!), the constant mispronunciation of the motor company ''Peugeot''. Ladies and gentlemen, it isn't ''Pew-geot''; it's ''Per-geot''. Ask any Frenchman!! Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for my daily lie down in the blacked out room at the back of the house!

This is pretty stupid tbh. It's the correct French pronunciation, but this is Ireland, not France. Do you go around saying "Paree" instead of Paris?

I hope not.

herbieflowers

The word random, and the phrase "same difference". Ugh.

south inner city dubliners "you know wori mean" at the end of every
