Sounds like you are a dub. Why you say I'm going on a stags? Rather than stag.

Well it is the stag’s party. He owns it.
I’m going on a stag’s weekend becomes I’m going on a stag’s.

It’s fairly basic.

People who still say "No recession there!"

The economy has been out of recession since the Second Quarter of 2013, Jacqui, and these headphones cost less than what you spent on pints of Harp last night.

Any variation of the expression 'the pot calling the kettle black'.
I can live with the original but the variations are very irritating. "Pot? Kettle?" Etc.

'Reach out.' A dreadful Americanism. Used instead of 'to make contact with'. Utter drivel.

And my least favourite...

'Early doors'. As in 'an occurance early on in something', usually in a sports event. Oft heard with regard to English football matches, it is now slowly being adopted by Irish sports presenters and commentators. A short consideration of the phrase shows it is, in fact, nonsensical and the penalty for its use should be death.

P.S.

Bae, stan or mood (as a sentence in its own right) . Not great anytime, but any Irish person in their 30s using them in my presence are putting their teeth in danger.

Its a very silly saying and you usually only hear it from people who don't realise that England is just another country.

Woke, hipster, sjw - particularly when used incorrectly (which is most of the time).

"Woke" is supposed to refer to conspiracy theorists, not leftists.

"Hipster" was a term several decades ago for jazz aficionados. A cousin of the beatnik. Not someone today who likes barista coffee ffs.

"SJW" - social justice is e.g. ending apartheid, not seeking recognition of 50 genders.

Naw, up there with other terms like "souper" and "shoneen", all museum pieces.

looksee

'Super' when used in place of very. I'm super excited, this is not super expensive, it was super difficult. Pah.

bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye... just go for heaven's sake.

Bracing - the people of Ballygobackwards are bracing themselves for the closure of their only supermarket.

And people who refer to sports people etc by pet names or first names as though they are personal friends.

Jim Gavin said something or another was ‘a key strength of the player group’, why did GAA people start talking in such a pompous way?
Lot of talk about ‘process’ nowadays too, very annoying.
In the world of business the spoofers have become easy to see, corporate talk is very easy see through.

1) People conversing about soccer team they support and they refer to said team in the first person. eg; "We threw that one away":rolleyes::rolleyes: (especially when it comes from someone with more X's before the L on the jersey size they're wearing, than players on the field!)

2) No bother.

3) Starting and/or ending sentence with 'Actually'

4) 'Is what it is'

5) 'How'ya lad?'

When people say use "minute" to describe a sizable amount of time usually no where near than a minute.

Usually I hear people in the US use it.
