    Typically American use of the word "like." "He was like and I was like..." "My mom was like 40 years old." So was she 40 years old, 39 or 41? Throw in "Awwwm!" at the beginning of every sentence and I lose the will to live.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Marketing people need to stop using the words "High Definition" to describe products. It's on everything from toothpaste to bags of coal. I don't want to see those words together unless I'm buying a TV.

    I was just looking up the specs for a phone that I'm thinking of ordering and was surprised to find out that it features something called Retina Sound!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,325 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    "Meh". Even people who use it online deserve to be punched.
    "Vanilla" is used by every boring idiot to describe every one they think is less boring. It's a way to make yourself feel adventurous whilst still being as unadventurous as possible.

    No the Coal and tooth paste is " Gluten free" not Hi-Def, did you not do a marketing degree?

    Action when used in lieu of a more specific or simpler verb. There are lots of words I don't like but that actually, albeit briefly, makes me angry.

    On point.

    Some woman on the radio took quite a liking to these two words and it was said ad nauseum to describe pretty much anything, both positive and negative. "He wasn't on point in this film". "She was completely on point here...blah blah.. "

    How has this one crept in?!

    'Sea change'

    'Going forward', and related management bull sh*t buzz speak, now going out of fashion post Tiger, thank fcuk.

    'Banter' and 'bants'.

    Having the 'lolz'

    'Paps' (press photographers) and 'Celebs'.

    Any and all contractions of so-called celebritie's names: e.g. Amy Huberman...Hubes...

    Combining expectant celebritie's names to form a portmanteau, imagined name of offspring, or to refer to the couple with a combined name...wretch inducing...

    When someone calls their boyfriend Boo or when a fella calls his girlfriend "me moth"

    That reminds me when I was a kid in school and some of the kids used to say "I need to go me toilet"

    Nah this is topped by the parents who use terms like DD/DS (dear/darling daughter/son) to describe their offspring.

    A DS is a Nintendo game system - end of, and DD's - well, I've nothing against those myself! :p

    Add 'The Wife' to that. Used by older chaps, makes them sounds like theyre from Yorkshire.

    Though now that you mention it, everything sounds conceited when referring to ones spouse/partner

    "My husband/Wife said" - did they? we dont care

    "My significant other" - not significant to us, we dont care

    "''er indoors" F Off

    "The missus" whose?

    "the old ball and chain" The 1950s want you back.

    "I was only saying to Jane / John the other day" Are we supposed to know who that is?
