No brainer. Why would anyone say this. It makes me feel sick.

Like, you know... when someone uses the word like... at the beginning or the end of a sentence, like!!!

Murder. Death. Kill

deadybai

A word I only hear on boards.ie ''Drivel''

shinner, a word commonly used by elitist supporters of civil war politics.

A few pet hates....


1. Factoid
This was never a word. I don't care what people say about language evolving, blah blah blah. The word is 'Fact'. This sh*t's just a lazy word created by a gimp who needed a filler in a poorly constructed sentence.

2. Panties
F*ckin' slimy word altogether.

3. U.S business-speak lacking cultural context for us.
Touch base, reach out, step up to the plate, take one for the team, jesus wept.....

Kalyke

Muck...... Much used word of the snow fans in the weather threads. ( Usually used to describe what can best be described as typical Irish weather)

"Factoid" means something that's presented as fact, but probably isn't one.

Nothing wrong with those words you might say, however try listening to RTÉ news presenters pronounce them

Hate that word.

Knickers is better than panties to be fair. Panties is just all sorts of wrong.

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?!

I HATE this. As already said, Mel B on the X Factor is the worst for this. It's a ridiculous phrase.

himself or herself when referring to wife/husband/partner - it fúcking infuriates me !!

It's bad but nowhere near as bad as "hubby". I cringe any time I hear anyone saying "the hubby" or "my hubby". No man is that much of a sap that he deserves to be called a friggin hubby.

I also hate "hun", as in "U ok hun?" Ugh.

Anyone who writes like they talk. E.g scots typing dinnae, fitba etc

On point in modern military parlance, means to assume the first & most exposed position in a combat formation.

One of those words that stupid people think makes them sound smart. Another one is 'holistic'

evancmurphy00

Probably said already but swag... That word disgusts me.

shuffles88

'On fleek' thankfully it doesn't seem to have caught on in real life but I keep seeing it on the internet. It makes my skin crawl

Sport pundits use this a lot as they attempt to sound smarter than they are.

Rubbish.

The HuffPost does this a lot. And the videos that "will change the way you look at...."

- toast
- traffic lights

I'm not that easily influenced.

Flavoursome and flavourful. The only people I've ever heard say them are American T.V. chefs. Just sounds wrong when Irish people say them,or use them when writing. Just stop. Please.

Also the word "smear", but that's a whole other thing.

"Smear" is a horrendous word. :mad:
Even in 4th year university physics I wasn't free of it ("smeared out" functions...... )

Not sure if it counts as a word but things like DH, DD and DS referring to Husband or children.
Never see DW but it probably does exist.

Conspiracy theory - used by social Marxists to kill off debate on very legitimate topics
homophobic - exactly the same reason

Also, for anyone who ever did a stint in some sort of a corporate setting, the phrase "the capacity for work" makes me want to go on a spree with a two-by-four

I just used it in a thread not-too-long-ago and realised afterward just how awful the word is,

Networking...especially when you use the word to describe the conversation you had with the waitress who served you dinner in a local restaurant.

Hipster...a polite word for wanker.

Day Lewin

@ratmouse -Whats wrong with "frighteners"?

I always thought that "putting the frighteners on someone" is a very vivid and descriptive phrase. And not that common or overused.

The over use of the word 'solution' by businesses to describe what they do. E.G. printing solutions, furniture solutions, design solutions etc.

Saw one on a van the other the day stating that the company specialise in catering solutions, this made me think they just supplied very watery soup.

What ever happened to the plumber's van?
The humble, amateur transit van?
Vans have become ridiculous

My daughter has started to use the phrase...''talk me through it'' and ''stellar''.

I'd punch her in the face only I love her, and she'd probably leave me in a ****ty nappy, in some horrible nursing home when I'm 90........
