Irritating words or phrases

whisky_galore

'Excited for'.

The mangling of the English language by companies; 'bringing great together', 'backing brave'.

The person who came up with those phrases should be taken out at dawn and shot with balls of their own sh!t.

This gets on my tits too. Corporate jargon is horrible in all its forms. It's amazing how it persists.

The 'it'll be fine they said' as pointed out by another poster is incredibly annoying;

Literally - I absolutely cannot stand how that word has almost become a placeholder to be used incorrectly while the invariably thick person using it is trying to think of what to say next;

Pull the finger out / puking my ring up - two phrases that I have always found to be particularly disgusting and physically cringe when used in my company;

'Would of'

'At the end of the day...'

'To be perfectly honest' - if you feel the need to preface everything you say with that you're probably not being very honest at all...

When doing a design job and your brief is

me: "ok, so what are you looking for?"

them: "I dont know, have fun with it."

.....what the hell is the supposed to mean?

Yolo.

'Sick' - when not referring to an illness.

'End of play'.

'As a woman ...'

Take a breath.

... Hold it ... (really meaning this person has'nt a clue what your talking about)

Just weird.

Whaaa?

Starting a sentence with "Look!" Seems to be a habit mostly in the Southern half of the country.

"Look!" and "Like!" seem to be bedfellows.

"End of". Pathetic attempt to sound extra-forceful or even more right. If your statement is correct this is unnecessary; if it isn't it won't make it any less wrong.

End of's stable mate, "Simple as". When people use this in conversation I look at them expectantly, waiting for the comparison to be completed.

"In the context of" Particularly favoured by politicians wanting to appear more learned. It doesn't work.

"Right?" or "OK?" after each statement. Are you asking me or telling me? All this does is make the preceding statement sound uncertain.

"Do you know that kinda way?" Where the hell did this gibberish even come from?

"calling someone out"---utter shoite phrase used most frequently by the politically correct when encountering sexism, racism, transphobia etc. etc. By all means challenge or oppose their views, argue or disagree with their statements, but unless you are actually and literally standing outside the pub in the car park calling them out for a scrap, you're not "calling them out", you're just **** away on Twatter .

Galwayguy35

When a member of the hard left open their mouth everything after that is an irritating word or phrase.

'Calling out' does my head in as well.

I like terracotta (just back from holiday in Italy where you can't get away from it), but panna cotta tastes much nicer..

I don't mind it or the colour itself but I knew this woman who was like a Hyacinth Bucket and she never stopped on about it! Terracotta walls, terracotta tiles!

That's GOOD!!!!!

And how is ..........

RiderOnTheStorm

Living in Kerry a while now, and a phrase that still rankles is "he was on holidays with 10 days" "Mary was in hospital with 2 weeks" .... ffs you cant use "with" instead of "for"!

B.A._Baracus

I dislike someone who refers to every as chief. The sort who constantly uses it.

Find it to be the mark of a asshole. Currently know someone who uses it too... Guess what he's like? Lol.

Nothing wrong with this one! They could do with replacing business jargon with this kind of thing, e.g "our core values include making advertisements that don't get on people's tits" :pac:

Another thing I've been noticing a lot lately is how Irish people are adopting the English way of using of "ing". For example, "that car needs fixing" instead of "that car needs to be fixed". Sounds very Coronation Street.

Or else, "I was sat on the chair..." instead of "i was sitting on the chair".

fancy pigeon

"I'm offended by..." well why don't you put your head back up your hole in your "safe space" ya pc tit

Full time mad bastard is usually written by a complete waster with absolutely nothing to offer to society, except burden

I haven't seen or heard that in about 5 years so it's fully explicable that RTE are getting on board with it now.

'We rocked up to the Aviva half scuttered'

Somebody said this to me once and I had to seriously bite my tongue.

'Rocked up'?

Stop trying to make 'Rocked up' a thing.

Mom comes from the Irish word, it’s used mostly around Gaeltacht areas and has been for generations.

Cops/ police used by an Irish person in Ireland irrationally annoys me.

Guards annoys me, the plural is Gardaí, like yerself it's irrational.
