People who are into GAA and/or Rugby.

Liverpool supporters. It just never ends well with this lot.

People who don't like cats.

People who are cruel to animals. They can get ass-raped by the devil for all eternity.



People who are overly into politics, especially Irish politics.


People who act like their religious beliefs are the only way. You've chosen a fantasy to believe, and that's fine, but don't come at me aggressively with your bullsh*t.


Anybody who works in the Irish media.

People who make a big deal about having/raising kids, especially whiny mothers and whipped daddies. Nobody asked you to have them, so shut the f*ck up!

Possibly but then again a lot of people might be thinking you are putting them through some form of torture if you tell them that and for most English is our primary and only language.

There have been people saying "people who are into politics, religion, football and loads of stuff.

I think the thing is when they try and make their interest into your interest. If they're the kind of person who can't have a conversation without mentioning football, politics etc. If they're the kind of person who can turn any topic into a discussion about their topic. That's where it gets annoying.

People who hate the Irish language and call those who want to preserve it a “Taliban”. Not a speaker myself by the way.

People who dislike other people for liking sports they don’t like or supporters of clubs they don’t like. All childish.

People who dislike people for disliking things that they don't particularly dislike.

I agree. You might have to tease it out a bit to see what someone is interested in but it should be pretty clear after a while if they have no interest whatsoever and you should then drop that topic. That said there are plenty out there who clearly don't have an interest in anything at all and that is bloody tough to deal with too. A bit like your man Stone in Fr. Ted.

I hate the expression Mayo for anything other than the county.

But coleslaw, in my world, means, specificall,y shredded white cabbage and grated carrots bound with mayonnaise.
I regularly make "grated raw vegetable salads" that, in my book, are not coleslaw. I refer to these as "slaw" but not coleslaw.
What should I be calling these?

Haven't hear 'holler' yet but "reach out' has been around a while.
One creeping in more and more is "Calling people out on.." or "They called him out on his behaviour". P1ss off.

I hear that a lot, but i am hearing it more so from people trying to have a genuine conversation about Pedophile Rings in the UK made up primarily of Asian Muslims.

Yet they are called racist form stating facts, and wanting to know why those type of criminal groups are predominantly Asian Muslims.

I suppose it was coined from the French at some stage.
That doesn't mean we need to copy the full vocabulary from the US/ Canada. For all the words I initially mentioned that I annoyed to hear people use everyday like they have being around forever we have perfectly good alternative words that have being used on the British Isles for many years. In keeping with the ask of the thread it is a practice that somewhat makes me loose respect for someone on a certain level and hence I pointed it out.

Being concerned about child abuse rings is understandable. Wondering why the perpetrators are a particular race or religion... nah, that actually is racism/Islamophobia. We had many pedophile rings in the past in Ireland and Britain (and Australia, and the US, and...) but the perpetrators weren't Asian or Muslim. They are in the news still for trying to cover it up, though. Aren't your friends concerned about that at all?

Those rings had the Catholic church involved. But those more recent rings in the UK are predominantly Asian Muslims(that's a fact) also these particular style of rings seem to be unique to Asian Muslims in the UK (again another fact) but being called a racist for trying to figure why this community is afflicted by such groups needs to be discussed. The same way it's getting discussed by the west about the Roman Catholic Church abuse.

But sure you can't be racist or a catholicphobic against white wrstern's

People who only use the word 'super' as a descriptor. No other adjective, adverb or superlative in their vocabulary. It's a North American thing that's beginning it's inevitable drift this way.
E.G.: "The airport was super busy. The flight wasn't super long but there was a super long queue for the taxis. My bags were super heavy but the driver was super helpful. I was super hungry when I got home so had a super big meal then had a super hot shower and went to bed. I was super refreshed when I woke up'.

people who leave really stupid youtube comments, examples would be countless people wrote "proud to be Irish" under that damo and ivor drinking song from a few years back, why would that video make you proud to be Irish.

people who post lines from youtube videos in the comments section, yes we know what they have just said in the video, why are you posting it in the youtube comments section?

People who eat lots of meat and who consciously eat a low-carb high-protein diet, even though if we all wanted to do that their either wouldn't be enough animals to go around or more would need to be brought into existence to be killed for the vanity of these people. Although if somebody did this before 2011 or so it doesn't bother me because at least such people were rarer then and therefore before their time.

People who flush the toilet after peeing, take long showers, leave the water running while brushing their teeth, or otherwise show no concern for the fact clean water is limited and requires energy to make clean.

Whether we like it or not, we are heavily influenced by Americanisms because of the sheer volume of tv shows and films they produce, which we watch. I grew up using "dude" because I was brainwashed by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I get lift/elevator mixed up all the time. I can understand their sayings slowly creeping into our vocabulary but if any Irish person ever calls St Patrick's day, "St Patty's day" they should immediately be shot with a ball of their own sh!te for treason :pac:

To be quite honest the likes of "dude" wouldn't be inclined to bother me so much as you might argue that there is no directly equivalent word for it. Elevator moreso would but not to the same extent as the words I originally provided for, for some reason. The likes of "Day care" on the other hand is one you would really need to think about to come up with if you weren't from North America as its just simply never used here and the obvious choice of creche is so apparent. Hence why it annoys me so much.

I haven't heard anyone using St. Patty's day here.....yet. On a side note "Paddy's day" is another practice that helps make me loose a certain element of respect for someone. It was always Patricks Day up until a few years back it seemed "Paddy's day" came into force and that was hip all of a sudden.

How is that any different from the huge percentage of kids who make their communion just because it's the done thing?

There has been mountains of coverage, scandal, investigation and so on into catholic abuse of kids. You don't think people wondered what is it about the lives of catholic priests that seems to spark vile behaviour? Racism or just normal common or garden reasoning?

Nobody is picking on the poor Asians or Muslims.
