“No recession in their house”

Doesn’t exist anymore but there was a time this was widespread. I flagged a taxi once at a bus stop and old biddies said that about me.

Thankfully this one died out

Which, the expression or the old biddy?

I hate "boils my piss", it's crass and vulgar.

Most Instagram captions or soppy posts looking for attention.

"I've had worse Mondays"

"It's safe to say"

To say I was shocked/happy/surprised is an understatement.

"Please revert as soon as possible" instead of "please reply". Revert does not mean reply. Does my head in.

Arghh "RTE" you've gone and said it. The pit of all things and language of the D4 PC Liberal movement.
I think it's their way of showing us plebs just how much better they are than us, strange then that they still rely on us for their living.
Following this thread has brought home to me just how much I've aged, I don't recognise half of the expressions.

'do you know that sort of a way'

I think some people have been hypnotized to repeat this after every sentence.

“Adulting” or any of those “I have the mind of a child” indicators.

I just don’t think they’re in any way funny.

When we were in recession and every sentence from everyone's mouth began with ...... "In the current economic climate"

Having just read through the thread I’m realising I use an awful lot of those phrases

Divil the bit

Absolutely enrages me beyond belief

I'm ok with this one on the basis that it's an anglicisation of a phrase that was originally in Irish. Divil a bit or Divil the bit (depending on the part of the country you're from) comes from Diabhal ar bith meaning nothing at all.

It was a thing in Irish to replace a negative with the word diabhal so it makes sense in that context. This one just happened to transfer over to English usage too.

Omg as well, something news organisations have adopted over the last couple of years when talking about the middle east or north korea etc: "tensions in the region".
