    Gratification.

    Hate that word for some reason.

    I fap in the bushes while looking in my neighbours windows for my own sexual gratification.

    That makes it sound sordid .. :confused:

    Renault is pronounced reh-no, not re-nawlt.

    As I am from Cork, we have an unbelievable amount of annoying phrases. "c'meretimmy beh, youud wanna be doggy wide, if da shades catch you with gatt dey'll haul you off to garrawn (gurranabraher police station).

    Most annoying of all though is how Cork people narrate their stories, " so I says to him, I didn't do natin, and he says to me " I saw you break that window" and says I to him " gedda way from me ya ghoul".
    Then Jacinta comes over and is like, "state a dis puppet, is he giving you grief (Tamzin/Jackie) ?
    "Naw 'Cinty girl, he says to me that I broke his winda and I says to him that he's no witnesses and that he's a ghoul if he thinks I'm paying for ih".
    Pure ghoul girl, he looks like a pedo like, state a him.

    Any business jargon irritates the sh1t out of me, particularly "going forward" and "proactive". Also from the apprentice "hiding in the long grass" my jesus, do they all have to say it or something!!

    "Good to go" when said by an Irish person it sounds ridiculous.


  • Registered Users Posts: 471 ✭✭checkyabadself

    Shit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,177 ✭✭✭Wompa1


    it's been said before but when people use literally in the wrong way. Like I was watching RTE2 before The Simpons last night and some ejit on there was talking about the Golden globes and how Ricky Gervais LITERALLY tore Charlie Sheen to shreds....poor Charlie! I would have thought his substance abuse would be the end of him!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Standman


    " ..you know that kinda way?" as in "I just was thinking why should i have to wait around for him, you know that kinda way?". No id on't know that "kinda way" who the fuck are you and what does that even mean??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 120 ✭✭Common as...


    On tv3 when they say "for your monday" or "for your tuesday" etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,627 ✭✭✭Lawrence1895


    'I love you' :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭amacca


    "keep er lit"


    keep what lit....your f#cking best friend, your house perhaps, would you like me to set you on fire?

    f#ck off...I'm a culchie but there's no need to revel in sounding like a sheep raping chain smoking witless bumpkin.


    (I'm sure someone has covered this one already but 28 pages of thread backreading....no)

    I hate when people say expresso instead of espresso or addicting instead of addictive. Irregardless is not a word. And brung is not a word you did not brung your shopping home.

    My 13yr old daughter had a sleepover lately and one of the kids kept saying 'hardcore' the pizza is hardcore, the music is hardcore, on and on all night with the hardcore so when I was giving out to them for making too much noise I said 'and you i'll hardcore you in a minute if you don't go to sleep' and they all gasped and looked at me shocked. Haha apparently you can't say you'll hardcore somebody. :D

    Judging from this thread no matter what you say somebody is going to hate it so hate it shmate it ;)

    Hardcore Pornography perhaps?

    maybe you had just threatened to dp your kids best friend or more accurately they decided to take that meaning from what you said

    (you probably know that already though..right? ...... you're a mammy, of course you know...thats what the smiley face was for)


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


    "Simples"

    Fucking pathetic


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭Gunsfortoys


    "Going forward"

    "come down to positive town"

    "I don't accept that"

    "FACT" (just because you finish a sentence with it does not make it so, you idiot)

    Jesus Christ!!!

    Did they sleep under "comforters" instead of quilts?
    And did they eat "cookies" instead of biscuits?
    And drink OJ and watch a "movie"?

    "awkward" is often used inappropriately and "cringe" usually make people very punchable

    devestated, mainly because a mate of mine always says it when anyone gets in trouble or does anything wrong.

    trips over a step mominterily losing balance but not falling,
    "devestated"
    *shudder*

    People saying "could care less" to imply indifference to something. If they could care less, that means that they do care at least a little. "Couldn't care less" makes more sense to me.
