    What an ugly, awful word.

    Anything ending in -gate. Only when referring to the watergate hotel can gate be used


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 803 ✭✭✭Rough Sleeper


    I've seen the word "adumbrate" bandied about a bit in recent times. It's probably the ugliest word in the English language and shouldn't be used under any circumstance, ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Nom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Mr. K


    Cheers.

    I find it mildly irritating when people use it instead of "Thanks" - I have no idea why.

    To repeat a few: bants, banter, that "nom nom nom" bollocks, epic (really hate that one), chill, epic, epic (did I mention epic?) and finally....



    ....epic.

    MILF. Even if I didn't know what it stood for I would find it disgusting. It sounds like some type of mould.

    "Row", when used in context of an argument.

    Eg. "A row has broken out between union officials and company representatives".

    I fucking hate it so much.

    It's a stupid word in many ways. It just has too many meanings.

    A row of spuds.
    A row with the wife.
    I like to row my boat.

    Vibes, as in like "good vibes" or "summer vibes".

    You are not a flower child from the 60s. Stop that.

    Entitled.

    Usually used by people who shouldnt be "entitled" to anything at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭skylight1987


    Sorry when used instead of pardon , its a Cork thing
    eg : customer," can I pay here"?
    clerk who didn't hear clearly ," sorry" ?
    spoken in a high pitched common Cork accent
    drives me nuts I tell ya, nuts
    MAY I ADD MY FAVORITE WORD IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF WORDS IS
    FLIBBERTIGIBBET
    what a word


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭heldel00


    This one came to me today when chatting to an English friend: (thankfully I haven't heard it here YET!)

    -Proper

    As in "I'm proper hungry" or "that was proper delicious."

    Nonsense.

    Poo or Poop. When the fukk did it became acceptable to use these words in adult conversation?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭thegreatgonzo


    Wowzers. Unless used in the original Australian context.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 728 ✭✭✭pueblo


    fancy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭Eutow


    Hubby - (a word only used by the print media but has still somehow become known to the wider publics consciousness)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 ChaosSymbol


    Moist.

    I hate the sound of that word. Ugggghh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭zcorpian88


    1. Stunnah

    See it everywhere on Facebook to describe photos of women all of which mutton dressed as lamb!

    2. Ledgebag/Ledge

    Often said by some bearded wanker Trinity student with a manbag and an almost fashion accessory coffee cup glued to his hand!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 ChaosSymbol


    Oh and one more..

    'Soz'

    It was written on a sign in Staple Foods earlier, cringeworthy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,785 ✭✭✭KungPao


    'Ignorant' used in the sense of rude/impolite. I know it's a valid definition, but Irish people way overuse it. Just say 'rude'.

    How about 'boffin'? Another stupid word you only see the ****ing Sun.

    I don't particularly fancy the word 'boffin'.

    A good enough reason (among others) to not read that sh!te.

    When someone says ''lets go to mine'' when they mean lets go to their place/ house/ residence


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    Mortified - usually said by middle-aged gossips or those who find themselves pregnant at a relatively late age.

    "Flesh" -- always sounds sort of wet and stringy

    My GP mostly calls it Poo. Only been with him a short time but the last one did choose a different word.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 824 ✭✭✭magicmushroom


    Ye

    Especially in a Cork accent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,688 ✭✭✭kerash


    On point. When and why did this suddenly become the 'in' phrase? I hate it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭Magico Gonzalez


    Vomit.

    Perfectly represents the nastiness of that which it describes. Can't say it without the juices starting to run in the back of my throat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭valoren


    Ching-Ching = Money

    Onomatopoeic words are the worst.
