    Ok I don't know if this is just me, but I hate when people order a "large chip" in chippers. You don't want a large chip you want a large chips?!!!!

    I thought that was really funny when I first heard it;

    "Fancy anything from the chipper?"
    "A curried chip"
    "What, just the one?"

    lol rofl lmao


    what ever happened to haha?:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    Retarted.

    Contrary to the above post, I hate 'haha'. More specifically 'AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAA.'

    You'd say a drink was nice, not 'SLURRRRRRRRRRP THAT DRINK WAS SO NICE.' LOL was made for online use, haha is a noise, not even a word really.

    Stuff like LMAO or ROFL in everyday conversation. Obviously you're not. I'm right here.

    When a couple say "we are trying to get pregnant" or "we are pregnant" really annoys me. No, no you are not. If you are a man, she is pregnant. If you are a woman, you are pregnant. Unless you are both hermaphrodites you sound like a fukking idiot.

    Not quite a specific phrase, but the above reminded me of something that drives me around the twist:

    Couples recording mailbox answering messages on each others phones. House phones are ok, but mobiles FFS. e.g. you ring Mary's mobile and get Johns voice going "Hi, this is John and Mary here". Eh, NO. This is Mary's mobile phone, You're an insecure freak, and if she's happy having that msg on her mobile phone, so is she.

    The American use of "sick" as something good.
    Oh my God that car is "sick" you're house is "sick"
    "The Smart Economy"


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭Ave Nocturna


    The whole "And he turned around and said... Then SHE turned around and said" crap really gets on my nerves.

    Also, "Your ma" is beyond old at this stage...

    Oh and the use of "me" as opposed to "my"

    "Your ma turned around and told me me ma was roidin Anto and I turned around and says WHA"

    :mad:

    I am not irritated by these words, i just find them quite disgusting as words and shudder if someone says them:

    clammy
    panties
    fart
    septic
    pus
    scrotum
    vagina
    moist
    :(

    In my job I have to say 'discharge' quite a lot, I hate saying it!

    Yup "discharge" is definately another one. :(
    Hope you don't have to say "excretion" alot too?!!
    Does your job does involve descriptions of bodily functions, etc.
    I'm squirming right now thinking about it!:(

    Use of the word "several" when referring to just any old amount drives me mental!!!! WTF.

    single = one
    couple = 2
    few = 3
    half dozen = 6
    several = 7
    dozen = 12

    and so on so fourth.

    News reporters in particular love referring to anything above 3 as being several????!!!!! The hint is in the F***ING name dumbass. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    All these words conjure up images of Starbucks, Apple Macs, designer stubble, and being signed up members of the Kunt Club.

    "Essential" when used in relation to music.
    Essential for what exactly?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,313 ✭✭✭✭Sam Kade

    To "step foot" as in "I'm not stepping foot in that dump again"

    It's "set foot"

    "I could care less" meant when the person obviously means "I couldn't care less".

    ****in eejits, I could care less about them

    That irritates me too.

    It's - it is/was
    Its - possessive
    Your - possessive
    You're - you are
    We're and were are not equivalent
    There they're and their are not equivalent
    There are only 5 vowels, they're not hard to include
    "I done" is incorrect, you mean "I did"
    I shouldnt of left out the apostrophe and I should have used the correct words
    People said he was been facetious, but he was just being grammatically correct
