I've seen and heard the above words alot, and they are beginning to bug me a little. How many people actually use the words 'yous' and 'yizz' in every day converstaion and why not just use the word "you"?

So what words/phrases irritate you?

God almighty..you'd think that after nearly 900 years of continuous occupation that we'd have learned the language properly...I just don't know anymore.

Remind me again, what's the title of this thread? What makes my post so different to* the 234 posts that preceded it? Get a life!

* yes, it's different to** - not different than or from, which you see quite frequently. :rolleyes:

**No it's not.

Different from is correct.

Forget the etymology, the definition is clearly at odds with this understanding of the word.

Forget the etymology...???!!!

That kind of thinking will lead the complete breakdown of civilised society.

Or something like that.

"In this day and age"

Does my head in. Like wtf does that mean? It's usually a euphemism for "I know better"/"I'm an arrogant **** who doesn't feel the need to read history"

When your having a conversion with someone and after every statement they make they say ' Do ya know what I mean? ' :rolleyes:

Yea of course I know what you mean..we're both speaking English!

There was a guy i worked with recently from Kilkenny and he used to constantly say "Sure as there's **** on a tinkers shirt" , god i was hoping he'd say it to the wrong person some day lol

intertronosphere, overuse of these kinds of cool words

thats debatable

how are you! - if they asked you the same thing yesterday and not much will have changed really :rolleyes:

can I have some change man? - no fook off you skank!

at the end of the day - what?

when you think about it - no cause I will magically be able to hear what you are about to say and not actually be able to think about it...like when I say dont think of an elephant, whats the first thing comes into your head?

elephant! - lose

the 3rd world and first world -put one from each in the dessert who will survive longer, just cause they dont have iwants and mobiles doesnt mean they are not 1,0000 times smarter and more intelligent than you! twat..

"Just minus it from the bigger number" - Do you say plus it?

The words vagina/fanny/muff.
Cant cope with them.
If I personally feel the need to talk about that general area in a conversation (which usually doesnt happen) I'll sooner point down there than use any of those words:D

Eeeew! Bit prudish aren't you?
Vagina. Female reproductive organ. Simple.

Mind you, vagina IS a bit "technical". I went out with a Liverpool girl who referred to her nether-shrine a "tweedle" or "peach".

Would you prefer "do you take this girl"? No? :eek:

I get annoyed when people pluralise things that should not be pluralised. I also prefer words to be properly capitalised. So you guess what I feel when I read something like "Legos".

No: there are LEGO pieces (note capitals), made by the LEGO Group in Denmark, but there is no such thing as "a Lego". So there's no singular "Lego" thing to pluralise, and thus no "Legos". I will accept "a (quantity) of LEGO" as borderline, since it can be taken as shorthand for "a (quantity) of LEGO pieces".

This is very annoying - people change the names of shops , e.g. Lidls, Aldis, Tescos, why do this? Also, Taytos???

People who use 'every other' when they mean 'every second'.

It makes zero sense.

People with grammar issues e.g.

I seen...

I done...

I been...

People who confuse been and being

People who call/refer to someone as "Babes" - "oh no babes, it's ok" etc. Annoying and condescending.

"Chillax" - Used exclusively by 100% pure gobshítes.

I'm sure there's more, but these are the 2 that spring to mind first....

RIP

When someone dies , for example a celebrity, and people are talking about it on the internet and write RIP. Also, in reality, rest in peaceis such a meaningless platitude.
