People who don't know the difference between moot and mute. Usually used by politicians..they say mute when should say moot. Makes them sound like gob****es.

That's a mute point, if you don't like politicians making a bollix of it, then just press the moot button, you mutt.
Anyway, everyone knows that muut is the grim reaper in native American culture.

"Woman can multi-task and men can't "
It is untrue we are both equally bad at it. It comes from an experiment where woman were tested doing household tasks and so were men. At the time (50s) woman were more accustomed to the tasks.
So it it was more an experiment on experience versus non experienced people

Oh and the other classic oft repeated that women have a higher vocabulary and use more words a day than men. While it does appear that women have on average a better capacity for learning language and adding new languages, the stat about daily vocabulary comes from a self help book from the 80's that referenced no research and it itself has been referenced as fact every since.

Multi tasking is actually a myth ! It's impossible for the brain to do more than one thing at a time whether your a woman a man or a fish or anything with a brain. What is happening when we think we are multi-tasking is that we are switching our attention from one thing to another with great efficiency and speed but we are not actually doing anything simultaneously. Sorry to go off topic!

Well..... not really. That's more like how computers (mostly/kinda) work. We and other living systems are different. Most of the time we don't task switch like you describe, we multitask and multithread. Walk to the shops with a mate and have a chat along the way. That's multitasking. Walking, talking, calling up memories, knowing the direction you're going, recognising landmarks, faces etc, never mind all the other underlying stuff going on like breathing and other bodily processes controlled by the brain and that's a very simple action. We parallel process all the time and we have mahooosive processing power. It's what our brains are very very good at.

Michael Noonan the big culchie minister of finance trying to sound all hi-tech and intelligent on RTE news this evening referring to 2013 as two-thirteen and then talking about two twenty six and fifty three.

For the record in 213 Ireland owed no monies to any international bondholders and Marcus Aurelius was emperor of Rome. Absolute numpty.

"Hanged" is correct, as in the past tense if a person were to hang himself

Doesn't mean the word doesn't sound horrific.

People who start every sentence with 'NO' see this a lot with when footballers get interviewed.

Interviewer: You had a good game today
Footballer: No, thanks very much

Interviewer: The manager has really got you playing well
Footballer: No, well he is great coach

"you know"

Sonia O'Sullivan used to say this so many times in interviews, see if you can find any of her interviews, my brother and I used to have a quick prediction how many times she would say it. Over 20 in one 5 minute interview I think.

Maybe its a cork accent thing, but used to annoy the hell out of me:)

or "now in a minute"

It annoys me when politicians say "we have a situation", "we can't have a situation...", "a situation"

Does anyone else notice how often politicians say this?
