O and people saying 'literally' when they don't mean it although I hav caught myself doing it sometimes, and literally died of enbarrassment

PhysiologyRocks

People need to stop saying "I'm just saying" to follow an insult. It is NOT an excuse.

marketty

People saying 'enbarrassment' when they meant ' embarrassment'

LOL, ROFL

No, you did not 'Laugh Out Loud' nor did you 'Roll Around the Floor Laughing'

FML. I don't know what it means, but it can't be definitive.

I believe it means 'Fcuk My Life', if I'm not mistaken

"Like, you know...you know...you know like...like...like you know like...." :mad:

These are fine if used in sentences, but not fine at all if used as a statement itself:
Win.
Fail.
Epic win.
Epic fail.

Also, the use of the word "retarded" as meaning "inconvenient".

ejmaztec

Your pet dog wasn't "put to sleep", it was FUCKIN KILLED!

Irish Guitarist

MILF. An absolutely disgusting word to call a woman. It sounds like mould or something. "Yuck, there's milf growing on my bread".

Pataman

I done it
I seen it
:mad:

Ellis Dee

"Briefly!", especially when spoken by that cow Olivia O'Leary (and her clones) on RTE. If the bitch doesn't want to let people reply to her stupid questions in a precise and measured way, she shouldn't ask them for interviews. And those who are being interviewed should tell her to go and get herself fcuked if she tries to hustle them along in the bullying way she does.:D:D:D

Wonderful idea for a book and i must scour the net. I hope the Clowns don't ruin this thread with idiotic remarks.

DontBanMe

Completely agree with "Dionysus" :- 'Like'
Drives me insane like you know like :mad: :mad:

Saila

mighty - when saying something was good

mapaco

aw crap i use alot of these!
hubby-cos husband sounds a bit serious whilst chatting informally
mum-what else do you call her? mother? mammy? noooooooo!
lol-i dont use it unless i genuinely DO laugh out loud at something!

it bugs the **** out of me when people use big words in the wrong context to sound intelligent-'we were so tired with anticipation':rolleyes:

Kovu

It was a game of halves.....

orourkeda

Political correctness. should be banned.

Both the phrase and political correctness itself

stateofflux

whatever gob****e came up with 'wimmins' should be shot...its not even an abbreviation & sounds like someone with brain damage trying to say 'women'.

Irish Guitarist

I hate the word 'overrated'. Even when used correctly I hate it but when used incorrectly it's even worse. A lot of people seem to think it means 'something popular that I don't like'. "Jedward are so overrated". No they're not because they're not rated in the first place, except by prepubescent girls.

Where To

All of them.

same to me with lol, I don't use it unless "actual" is typed before it.


I hate the way news groups say "all but over". "All but over" means it's almost over. What kind of dyslexic genius decided on that?

bohsboy

we're seeing the "green shoots of recovery" - dreadful.
from the "get go" - always sounds like "gekko".

We don't like clear direct talk in Ireland and we are well known for it.

Gyalist

The word "passed" as a euphemism for died should be immediately decommissioned and put beyond use.

Cupcake_Crisis

'Stall it' and 'gaff'. Ugh.

Oranage2

The word 'black' when describing a person - It's racist and ignorant!

I actually like 'passed away'. It conveys death a bit more philosophically. It's usually said in a sad, resigned, bereft tone more appropriate for death than the clinical "he died" or even "he croaked it!".

There's an argument for that but on the other hand ... :P

'Well lad'

RhubarbCrumble

"Touch base". My boss actually said that to me on the phone the other day before asking me where I was. I really wanted to say "Limerick, and I presume you're still in 1990 are you?"

Exactly, black doesn't even exist...they're just a really, really really really dark navy blue.

But using 'white' is perfectly fine?

A good mate of mine had his own forum back in the dialup days and he had a way of dealing with this. He wrote some script or other that resulted in anyone using "LOL" it would preview OK, but post as "I'm a fcuking moron". Amazing to see how long it took some numpties to spot the connection.
