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.

He also looks stupid on the sideline whispering like a member of the Secret Service into a clipped on microphone.

" We are pregnant " Said by a man . No you are not pregnant she is , you are expecting a baby .

More annoying GAA speak. Starting and peppering every sentence with 'Look...' is very annoying.
Also using the adjective 'Savage' to describe good Hurling, particularly Kilkenny.
An annoying Dublin middle class affectation is beginning every reply with 'So'. So bloody annoying.

usually i like nothing better then taking a pop at Dublin middle class affectation but the ''so'' thing is nearly universal now.

it is incredibly annoying. what age are you? ''so, im 39'' where do you live ''so i live near mullingar.

what is wrong with people, just speak normally.

"See you later!" when they probably won't see you until next week. Later means today, right? Also, "Talk you you later" meant the same way, but I just immediately think "Why are you going to call me later today? I was planning on relaxing with zero communication with other humans!".

speaking about you in the third person as in "how is [your name]" to you when they meet you


and "talk to you" on leaving

Immortal Starlight

Watching television lately it seems a lot of the presenters have started saying “see you in a few” to the camera before an ad break. Sounds so stupid.

It doesn't have to mean today. It could mean See you later in time or see you later in life. When exactly, doesn't matter

First time I heard that term was in the movie Borat,"Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan", can't imagine someone using it seriously.

In fairness it's not as bad as citing multiples of people/teams, where there are none - e.g "your Beckhams, your Keanes, your Uniteds, your Liverpools."

'Cat' to indicate something is bad.

Miley Byrne

Not sure if it has been mentioned already but "I want to say......"


Me: What time did you get home last night?

Friend: I want to say 1 o'clock? (Said like they are asking a question)

Me: Well just say f*&king 1 o'clock then. Why do you sound like you need my permission to give a simple answer. Or else just say "I think it was 1 o'clock".

:mad:

I can't stand that expression. I was thinking though, a guy I really don't like used to say it so maybe that influences my dislike for it. If Michael Fassbender said in an interview 'my latest movie is cat', I'd probably love it :pac:

Muahahaha

I would have thought that expression is more likely to come from politicians.

The Savage Eye had a piss take on politicians doing this with a sketch character called "Minister for the Use of Three Similar Words"

you were asking the wrong questions
