    I really dislike the word flesh, it just sounds so... disgusting.

    Also pussy, I have no problem with any other word for it, but pussy makes me shudder, don't know why, I love the word **** which more people would probably find worse. Not offended by it or anything just don't like the way it sounds.

    Those really American words like "Sophomore" pIss me off a bit.

    Was on the Trinity website the other day and they use that and freshman as terms for the different years. Looks silly when it's an Irish college.

    yelp

    hashtag

    Any time the name of a website (usually a social networking one) is used as a verb, e.g. "I Facebooked him last night", "will you whatsapp me on that message", "I was snapchatting him earlier"

    Boffins, meaning scientists. I'veonly ever seen it in tabloids and nowhere else.

    "Boffins working in CERN have discovered...."

    Boffins!! I don't even get it.

    "Remedy" when used on things you find in pharmacies: it's one of those weasel words used when making medical claims that aren't supported by medical trials. So they can't use words like "cure" or "medicine", they have to make it vague to avoid legal problems. Example: "Bach Flower Remedies".

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    "told": used most in "told you so".
    "evidently"
    "can't" ( = won't)
    "process", "procedure" = yep, I'm going to hide behind it.

    I absolutely hate 'lad'. How did that even start?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,735 ✭✭✭Vincent Vega


    pretentious.

    I find it particularly annoying when people use it when talking about films.
    I think it's overused by closed minded people about films they either couldn't be bothered to think about, or films they saw no worth in because they couldn't understand them.

    Usually these are films that ask something more of the viewer, other than to sit there munching popcorn and be spoon fed something that follows a successful formula.

    I think it's become a go to word for people who are poor at independent thought and criticism.


  • Registered Users Posts: 688 ✭✭✭UpCork


    crusty, moist, ointment really make me feel funny (and not in a good way!) It's just the sound of those words ewwww


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭gugleguy


    concometant : this is just a filler word. I never remember the context where it is used.

    Spot on. It's very telling that whenever I ask somebody "oh what makes you say that?" they struggle to respond. It's a word that's become increasingly used by closed-minded people to belittle creativity and ambition.

    Cheese



    Means something nice and disgusting at the same time

    and what about "vehicle" in the way only a Garda can say it :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭zcorpian88


    "Meet" As in the secondary school euphemism for the shift/kissing/making out whatever you want to call it.

    The word meet just grinds my gears, don't know if people still say it.

    I think it has reverted back to shift which I find less annoying for whatever reason.


  • Registered Users Posts: 251 ✭✭Ring4Fea


    Out of the box. So cliched that people using this phrase are buried in the box.
