Things you say that are wrong

Shankly Gates

It was just pointed out to me that I always say "Oh" when saying a phone number. As in "Can I have credit for Oh 8 6?". I have no idea why but I've been saying it so long that I never even thought about it.

The other ridiculous one I use is "Stall it" meaning let's move

What silly things do you folks say?

ArtSmart

"Dat's righ', i rode yer sister las' nigh. twice."

Fentdog84

Been told I say 'like' to much.

southcentralts

Quit with yur complaining about Irish colloquialisms

The King of Moo

"What is love, when you don't hurt me, when you don't hurt me, no more?"

That's the only thing I say that's wrong, even though I know it's wrong. Unfortunately, I say it a lot.

Also, saying "oh" instead of "zero" isn't really wrong at all.

My phone number is Oh Eight...........
I'm not with Zero Two.

Backstard.

Peetrik

Been calling newly registered cars from the past few years "zero eleven" or "zero twelve" etc instead of "twenty twelve".

"Its a zero twelve Toyota"

When I use the word couple, as in "I ate a couple of biscuits" or "I went there a couple of weeks ago", it does not necessarily mean two. It can be any low-ish number (greater than 1 but less than 10)

Since realising this I've tried to use the word "few" instead but sometimes "couple" will still escape my lips.

He hung himself. Hanged just sounds wrong to me!

How long will it take me to write code that'll do that? Oh it's an easy job, no more than a few days. The end of the week at the latest.

I'm waiting for the first person to post "i done", so i can track your ip, hunt you down and beat you to death with a junior infant English reader.

You are without doubt the most amazingly beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on.

The trousers are to be fitted. They fat him well.

Could you also include the first person to say 'I seen', please?

I say puck up rather than picked up a lot. Also use me in the place of my all the time.

Am I the only person who uses the term "worser"

That's exactly what "a couple of" means. "Couple" only means "two" when referring to "a couple," as in "a romantic couple." But "a couple of" has the exact same meaning as "a few:" an undefined small number.

I used to do this until not so long ago. I still find that the way I grip a fork is completey wrong. I know a lot of people that dont even know how to use one, and instead just use their hands :eek:

My sister always says blood shocked, when she means blood shot. She was mortified when she found out

The term "i do be" as in " i do be in town everyday" is wrong i'm told and is only said here as its a direct translation from Irish-bíonn me

Now how come Wikipedia didn't tell me that? I thought it knew everything. Illusions of life thus far completely shattered....

fasttalkerchat

The OP's biggest problem is asking for a top-up for a phone number and not a network!

I don't say anything wrong. I'm wonderful.
<_<
>_>

My friend says "how's we can", as in, "let's go to the shop how's we can buy some sweets".

My Nanny says "a chester drawers" rather than "a chest of drawers". She also once told my cousin's friend "your face is very peculiar", she meant familiar :pac:

"you heading out tonight?"

"I amn't"

^lol

My Nan's favourite piece of music was "Cabinteely", (Cavantina).

kfallon

"I seen him walking down the road 5 mins ago!"

"I'm going out tonight for a few bottles" - and then I proceed to drink pints

And of course the obligatory, "me" instead of "my"......."ah go and ask me hoop!"

pickarooney

I like to say brang and I often pluralise hair and pasta.

My granny calls a singular Chinese person, or anyone else from east Asia - I doubt she has an eye for the subtle appearance differences involved, a Chinee. One Chinee, two Chinese.

I thanked your post but really I am thanking you for your username

The Dublin lads I know regularly take the pish for my needless inclusion of "all" in sentences

"Who ALL is going drinking tonight?"

But my whole family does it, and most other Westies I know!

Your phone number is zero eight. Your network provider is "o" two... not 0 (zero) two.

Something that got to me one night in the pub during the Euro's when Ireland were playing and an ould lad was calling Ronnie Whelan, "Ronnie Wailin'" and Shay Given, "Shay Givens" :rolleyes:

That should have been the least of your concerns watching Ireland play eehh take part in the Euros.

'Standing in a gate'. Said that to a Yank, they nearly wet themselves when I wanted a hand moving cattle.

'Pasgetti' instead of 'spagetti'.

'Are you right?' for 'Are you coming?' again the Yank nearly exploded.

When you are already majorly pissed off every little thing adds enormously to your ire! :mad:
