    Jab.
    I know it's not unique to Corona but I really dont like it.
    Usually it's reserved for use by the red tops but everyone is using it. Not the connotations of it as it's great we are getting vaccine but just the word itself.
    Rte: ex thousand have had the jab so far...
    Also not strictly phrase but the fact that a year on, the stats are still the first news item no matter what

    ‘Cocooning’ and ‘Bubble’
    I also really dislike the name they chose ‘Covid’ - it doesn’t sound right. They should’ve left it at SARS-Cov2.

    Cohort.... I have started using it myself

    R-factor.... The new ISEQ or Dow Jones Industrial average. People huddled around a radio for the latest r-factor. Like 1984

    New normal

    Immuno-compromised

    Support bubble

    Challenging

    Problematic

    Wet market

    "We're all in this together"

    "Our People"

    "Essential workers" (absolute B*****)

    "Essential Retail", Book stores? Really!

    "Click & Collect"

    "Doing well compared to European COUNTRIES" (really?)

    "Meaningful Christmas" (How did that go)

    "Light and the end of the tunnel" (Tunnel must be as long as the Channel Tunnel)

    "Jab & Go" (offensive & Disgusting)

    "Cohort" (whatever that means)

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    Wet put was mentioned in the very first post on this thread and singled out as the prize winner.

    Some have been said already;

    "essential workers"; patronising BS. Pay them a proper salary if so!

    "herd immunity"; using a primitive term "herd" yet wrapping society in bubble wrap at the same time in a totally unnatural way.

    "The next 2 weeks are crucial"; one of NPHET's expensive PR advisor's advertising catch phrases to help get a message to stick and this is one of them.

    "wet pubs".

    It's not so much a phrase but I hate the influx of very angry posters to this site, particularly noticeable post Oct 2020.

    Almost all rational debate on C19 has been drowned out by this cohort.

    If we must have a phrase, " the 'rona" grinds my gears.

    What the helllll do you mean by that . I am outraged , disgusted and appalled by that remark . You should be banned , blackballed AND deplatformed .
    If Joe Duffy was on today id ring him but ill contact the thought police in the meantime .
    Wheres my inhaler .
    :D:D:D
    Did I mention I was outraged !.

    Absolutely !...I visited the Blackvalley once,and they had NO electricity...Mrs Tangney had a gas powered fridge in the shop...I was beside myself with outrage...:mad:


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    Its not rocket science.

    Moreso on social media. Typically used by people who can just about spell 'rocket science'.

    "Hold firm" and "stay the course", both lose their effectiveness after a full year of the same thing.

    Frontline workers boils my urine by those who mis use it. I see a hardware store declaring their staff as frontline workers, unless they have a icu out the back where the cement and timber is and double shifting I doubt it.
    An post workers calling themselves frontline workers also, the deliveroo driver with his Chinese takeaways will be a frontline next.

    Let's get the ball rolling...

    "The next 2-weeks are vital..."

    "We'll get through this..."

    "New normal"

    ...and the pièce de résistance:

    "Wet pubs"

    Haven't heard wet pubs or new normal in a while. Covid life feels normal now.....cos when I look at online repeats with filled stadiums it looks strange lol.
