    The word 'Solutions' used by businesses. Saw a van the other day that said 'For all your Plumbing Solutions call...' :rolleyes:
    Overused and trite.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,422 ✭✭✭✭Bruthal


    Yea or the business phrase `team player`

    "touch base" is a phrase that is extremely annoying. The last time I checked we didn't live in the good old US of A. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 941 ✭✭✭Ciderswigger


    Glad. :mad: And epic. But mainly 'glad'.

    "I'm so glad that you had an epic night."

    Eeeeurgh!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭PseudoFamous


    I don't really get annoyed about words. I do, however, hate the "Who-Who-Whooo" and "Whoomp, there it is" that seem to ruin every bloody show that I go to. Shup dammit, I paid too.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Not so much the word but how it is used.

    'Professional'

    I've witnessed people say 'I'm a professional' to exert authority over others.

    (not to me mind. I'd just say 'what does that mean?' if anyone used it out of context or to exert authority over me)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 523 ✭✭✭jdooley28


    Came here to say how much i hate the phrase "going forward" but others got there before me. Whenever i hear I think of someone out of thier depth trying to sound more confidant than they really are.

    Yurt

    Of course there's an 's', it's a plural for crying out loud.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan

    Nope, 'Euro' is the plural for 'Euro'.

    Two words - dungarees, panties. Two horrible horrible words.

    They do my nut in!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 420 ✭✭whiteboy


    Surely it's been mentioned but "preggers", any girl who ever uses this term deserves a slap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭PseudoFamous


    I don't believe you.

    The plural of "Euro" can be either with or without an "S".


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Liam Wide Munchies


    In Community legislative acts the plural forms of euro and cent are spelled without the s, notwithstanding normal English usage.[11][12] Otherwise, normal English plurals are recommended and used,[13] with many local variations such as 'centime' in France.

    As the euro was being adopted in Ireland the Department of Finance decided to use the word euro as both the singular and plural forms of the currency,[30][31] and because Irish broadcasters took their cue from the Department[citation needed], the "legislative plurals" tend to also be used on the news and in much Irish advertising. This has had the effect of reinforcing the s-less plurals, although advertisements made in the UK for broadcast in Ireland tend to use the plurals euros and cents (see below).

    While many in Ireland use the "legislative" plurals euro and cent, it is also the case that many people in Ireland use the s-based plurals euros and cents. At the time the s-less plurals were introduced, at least some people complained[32] that the EU ought not attempt to "change English grammar".[33] People who have become accustomed to what they hear on daily television and radio use the s-less plurals[citation needed]. These are also seen written on the notes and coins, though this is less likely to influence usage than broadcasting[citation needed].
    :pac:

    So, it can be both.

    People who say "sat" in a sentence like "I was sat there thinking.."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭Buddinplant


    inning = onion....(childhood mistake, spread like wildfire in the family)

    the phrase 'No offense, but....'..............argh!! if you think they'll take offence don't utter a word about it and definately not in a packed canteen in your fake 'concerned' stage whisper voice.

    rant is over. thank you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    "of", when use in place of " 've"

    e.g. I could of studied harder at school.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,659 ✭✭✭Siuin


    When the word 'done' is abused (don't know if this is a purely Corkonian phenomenon, but it pisses me off).
    "I ain't done nawwwwting, like"
    "He done it already" etc
