Absolutely.

Everything is 'absolutely' nowadays. Nothing is just fantastic. It's absolutely fantastic.

I watched Michael Johnson on the athletics on tv the other day and Gabby Logan was ending the programme and said 'Thanks Michael'. He responded with 'absolutely'!

All the stupid new made up american words like cis gender and incel. You are irish FFS start acting like it. :mad:

DickSwiveller Returns

Irish people who talk like Americans by inflecting the end of a sentence to make everything they say sound like they are asking a question.

When people call themselves "bunnies" of any description.

e.g. "I'm a real gym bunny". Made worse by the fact that it is usually spouted by some 3-in-1-addicted couch potato.

I've never heard it used in any context other than the gym. Any examples?

"Foodie" is another horrible word to describe a cretin who takes pictures of his dinner for likes and attention.

Everyone is a "foodie", it's how humans stay not dead.

"When you're ready." I hear this one every time I'm at a checkout, even if I've already handed the money over. I don't know how this one started, it's really condescending and I can't see the point of saying it unless you're trying to insult customers FFS! I never heard it before 2015, and now every member of staff in every shop and supermarket bleats it out as if I'm actively trying to waste their time...


"That'll be five Euros when you're ready." *stares into space*

No, it's when YOU'RE ready, The money is on the counter. Why do you think I'm packing already?

Maybe already mentioned, but what firms put in replies to serious complaints when they have no intention of setting things right "This may not be what you wanted to hear, but..."

I've never heard anyone in Cork say lookit, it's more of a midlands saying.

Michael Fitzmaurice (TD) uses it in every sentence every time he speaks. For some reason it suits him though

Don't get mad, get even.

Start calling yourself an "aero" and rate the air that you breathe. Whinge about passing pig farms in your blog and post photos of mountain tops. Plan your holidays around places where the air quality is high and drone on endlessly to people about it when you come back. Berate others who don't fully comprehend the chemical components of air. Organise fesitvals with other aeros and get obscene financial backing from public funds to make this happen, because of ... you know... the industry.

People saying soccerball to try and disparage the most widely played game in the world. It's called either football or soccer. Saying soccerball makes you look like you've a chip on your shoulder. I suppose the same can be said for saying bogball and egg chasing. Just call the games what they're called.

People saying Arsebook or Twatter for Facebook or Twitter. Not really all that funny, witty or original...just annoying.

Cant agree with 'Twatter'. I think it's great and perfectly sums up the losers on that website.

So fcuking what ?????

Some that really get my goat :

"You have been banned"
"You have received a warning"
"You have received a warning at boards.ie"
"You have received an infraction"
"Carded"

Pretty much everything mentioned here, with the added bonus of swearing... It's the last resort of the uncouth....
Go online and look at the robust language of Shakespeare, it's a thing of wonder, plus, Google swearing alternatives and phrases... A couple of my daily favorites would be "great googly moogly" (popularized by Frank Zappa), "oh my giddy aunt", (from my uncle) and an honoury mention that for "Gordon Bennet" (from my mum)...

Last few years I've decided to make stuff up to rebel against the norm.

This January when the first colleague said "did you have a good Christmas?" I wove a tale of absinthe parties, deep sea fishing and orgies. Was fun!!!!

People who use text as a past tense. eg. "I text him yesterday" - what's the present tense so? Tex?! So ridiculous. It makes any otherwise intelligent person sound like a total tit.

Judge Judy is a hive for these:

Axed - for asked
Conversated - talked
Tooken - taken possibly ?

There are others sadly!

Hahaha you'd love a colleague of mine - walks 15 minutes out of her way to get a vegan latte but on the last team day out ate lamb.

I strained my throat making bleating noises. Small minded of me but meh!!

Turns out - she's "vegan for health reasons only".

No, don't understand that either!
