Happy 'out' 😡

_Whimsical_ · 08-08-2023 1:54am

"you never know what's around the corner" - said after some unnerving and awful event by someone desperate to demonstrate their inspiring grasp of the obvious!

Generally by the time someone has dredged that one up everything is already unsettlingly awful enough without that reminder clanging into the middle of things, might as well say "statistically one of us will die a terrible death you know"

Sista from another mista.🤮.

'Heads should roll'. So, dude, you're going to strip to your pants, put a black hood over your head, and decapitate people with a massive axe?

Then there's adding exclamation marks! To everything! Are you five?

Calling their partner "Hubby" makes me feel ill, cringe.

You have to remember who we're dealing with here.

Wanderer2010 · 08-08-2023 8:15am

"It is what it is".

A very defeatist statement which suggests that not only are you going to accept the person/situation/event with no counter argument but that you dont even have the energy to care.

Gumbo · 08-08-2023 8:16am

Great thread for a Bank Holiday Monday.

Beechwoodspark · 08-08-2023 8:16am

“Happy out”

”hollibops”

”go on...go on” when finishing a phone call - rude

dickdasr1234 · 08-08-2023 8:19am

'Eh'

but it's better than

'As I was saying...'

or

'To be fair...'

(hits me somewhere beneath the enamel on my teeth)

Going Forward, stupid politicians especially Mickey Martin

sydthebeat · 08-08-2023 8:38am

"probably"

Everything that follows that word is a complete waste of time

Sgt Hartman · 08-08-2023 8:42am

Preggers instead of pregnant

The whole "should of" and "could of" thing really sets my teeth on edge also

People who say "hello, hi" as a greeting on the phone. Just say one or the other, not "hello, hi"

TedBundysDriver · 08-08-2023 8:44am

Calling social housing free housing.

What goes around comes around.

He hit that one out of the ballpark.

Addmagnet · 08-08-2023 8:46am

Preggers

Hollibobs

Crimble

'should of' instead of 'should have'

'try and' instead of 'try to'

using 'less' when correct use is 'fewer' (Fewer means “not as many.” Use fewer with countable nouns like cookies. "Cookie Monster was told to eat fewer cookies". Less means “not as much.” Use less with uncountable nouns like milk. "Could you give Cookie Monster less milk next time?"

Yeah, I'm a riot at parties. 😏

teediddlyeye · 08-08-2023 9:04am

"If you can afford x then you should be able to afford y."

No thats not how money fcuking works, it can only be spent once.

Usually from a position of pure begrudgery.

Also "notions", hate that expression. Usually the same dickheads.

Companies that issue virtue-signalling press releases saying they are "playing our part". It usually means by screwing their employees.

I never really understood the difference between fewer and less until you said that.

So regarding the milk, it would only be correct if you said "Could you give Cookie Monster fewer centilitres of milk?"

And it would be "less sugar" unless you were talking about a specific measurement (i.e spoonful), where it would become fewer spoons of sugar?

nachouser · 08-08-2023 9:39am

That would soften their cough.

pgj2015 · 08-08-2023 9:51am

GAA players who say "look" or "listen" before most sentences.

Lewis_Benson · 08-08-2023 9:55am

People saying "cmere" before saying something.

Exactly. There is a tree near well when say near I mean about 5km away but I pass it often and it has been struck twice by lightning poor tree. Next time could be its last time poor tree.

"He's" where they should say "His"

FortuneChip · 08-08-2023 10:30am

When people cite the year as a means of making a point whereby the current time has nothing to do with it.

"In this day and age" or "It's 2023, you'd think that..." as if there's some comparitve benchmark to use against it.

Corporate phrases, brand-terminology etc is annoying. What's even more annoying is when people chuck out a caveat before saying using that terminology to seem like they're relunctant.

"Now, I know you're tired of me saying this" or "I hate this jargon as much as you, but..."

They're usually text-book w*nkers who love this stuff.

Deregos. · 08-08-2023 10:38am

"I identify as a . . . "

Peter Flynt · 08-08-2023 10:58am

When people refer to their kids as "Child Number 1" or "Daughter Number 2" instead of, you know, their actual real names. Mainly happens on social media.

Grow the f**k up.

they also have a tendency to say "i suppose"

"Mama bear"

(translation... pushy dose)

"Just the bread and milk, please".

"No fuel? No Petrol? Diesel?"

"Just the bread and milk".

“ You make you’re own luck”

if you made you’re own luck, it wouldn’t be luck, just good decision making

luck ( Beit good or bad ) is an event that we have - had no role in

It just happens and we either benefit or suffer

FortuneChip · 08-08-2023 11:26am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120951895#Comment_120951895

I think people say this facetiously - discrediting "luck" as a means of achieving something.

Deregos. · 08-08-2023 11:27am

The tide is turning.

coolbeans · 08-08-2023 11:29am

People who write 'do' when they mean 'though'. OP is terrible for it. Dunno how you get through life or school thinking do and though are the same. Duh! Sorry OP but you did ask!

Also, another thing I've noticed in recent years is people thinking the term 'a lot' is one word and write 'alot' or 'allot'. Grinds my gears.

Ronald Binge Redux · 08-08-2023 11:34am

Irish people writing 'center' and 'color'. This isn't Bumbleduck, Ohio.

brokenbad · 08-08-2023 11:35am

My daughter adds ?? or !! to every text. Here's one from March: Good luck with the NCT??

Stop with the [excessive] exclamation marks!! Stop with the question marks??
