    You must be talking about langer and idiots, although the fomer is kind of covered by the latter there.

    true, as its origin. but currently no-one actually says it. it's used on forums these days - hence the internet reference. and by old, I meant it was used a lot more 5+ years ago. anyway those are my excuses.

    24/7 probably been said before but everytime I hear it, its usually from a knob!

    "Ya know yourself"

    I always tell people that "Yes, i do know myself. Intimately"

    Also foreign people i know who say "what" after i tell them something

    Im not slowing down, nor speaking clearer. In fact i think im going to pick up a Jackie-Healy-Rae accent to p1ss you off even further!

    Don't know if its been mentioned previously in the thread, but misuse of the word 'literally' really annoys me.

    People use it to emphasise a point when really they mean the exact opposite of literally

    Awww I hate that! my housemate is the worst for it....

    typical sentence.... " I was so mad at her, I literally ate the head of her, like literally.... "

    or else she uses it when there really isnt any other way to take the sentence.... e.g instead of sayin i was standing there waiting for her becomes " I was literally standing there, like waiting for her"...literally standing there as opposed to what?!?! drives me nuts!

    As you probably noticed she overused the word "like" all the time too!!! :mad:

    The word 'NOOB/NOOBIE' :mad::mad::mad:

    The phrase 'no rest for the wicked'. Always bugged me, I just hate the way it sounds or something.


  • Registered Users Posts: 652 ✭✭✭stringy


    And people who call queen cakes cup cakes. This isn't New York city.

    buns

    also the use of...

    BOOM! or FACT.

    You're - literally ;) - house-sharing with a cannibal ? :eek:

    That's not an actual word; the word would be "newbie", and it's just that some muppets spell it phonetically.

    "Thumbing your nose at it"

    WHAT THE **** DOES THAT MEAN?!

    Banter. It's basically a way of sugarcoating bullying.

    "Aw, I was snappin'...."

    "Aw, I was snappin'...."

    "No offence, but have you noticed __'s __?"

    How dare you say something to me about someone else's appearance/possessions, I'm so offended! This one really pisses me off, you're almost prepared for an insult and its not even about you, and its used the wrong way. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,475 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    "Same difference."

    That's annoying.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭jackiebaron


    Another one that pisses me off is the use of the word "anymore" in a positive context.

    For example:

    "The fella at the 2nd counter is much faster than everyone else so I'm going to him anymore"

    Cretinous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,163 ✭✭✭✭Liam Byrne


    The stupid "give it up" phrase when they actually mean "round of applause".

    "Give it up" means either

    a) You're not going to indulge (e.g. for lent),
    b) Stop trying to convince someone and shut up, or
    c) Whoever you've a date with is getting lucky ;)

    It does not mean "clap whoever's coming on / going off stage".


  • Registered Users Posts: 773 ✭✭✭D_murph


    "This current climate", and "touch base". In work before one clown (a manager) kept using the second one :rolleyes:.


  • Registered Users Posts: 830 ✭✭✭SEANYBOY1


    'Going Forward' &' Touching Base'
    Both of thses angry up the blood, they were probably already posted?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,621 ✭✭✭Trekker09


    "Speak to the hand"

    WTF is that all about?

    Choonz is another one of my pet hates. Fenton, you have a lot to answer for :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 156 ✭✭SquirrelFace


    Its not in spoken conversation (because I wouldn't speak to the people who use it :P) but the internet-bred words/phrases like;
    Newfag, PHAIL/ FAIL, noob, the internets (all of them??), bring on the lulz,
    pwned, ROFLCOPTER and things along those lines.
    Also I hate it when people say euros, as in it was 24 euros. I just think that'd be like saying sheeps and I can imagine the person counting out individual euros to pay... and "Going to Tescos! " It's Tesco! Tesco is not a person! Aldi isn't a German friend you have so stop saying you're on your way to Aldi's!

    Thought of another one: Ax. "So I went to ax him....."

    Soooo ghetto.

    can't stand when people say "okay, well we'll put a pin in it for now".

    I am guilty of using many of the complaints that were mentioned already and I only read a few pages of the thread.
