Things you hate people saying

I detest people saying "Can I ask you a question?"

You just f**king did!

Get on with it.

Ending a sentence with "mate"

Very common in north Cork. 'with years'. Doesn't grate with me, tbh. Another local one is using 'or' instead of 'if' - 'Or you don't mind....'

"Just pop in your PIN there"....usually followed by "perfect!".

“Perfect” ….when it’s most definitely NOT perfect.

When used in relation to some thing/situation that is definitely not perfect then it is usually used in the same way as "I will; yeah" (meaning I definitely will not). It is an antiphrasis

How are "Perfect" and "No bother" very dismissive? Unless you are talking about people who are constantly using those words for everything.

"The vast majority"...when said by someone on the defensive.

Like the head of the taxi federation answering allegations on radio that a certain number of taxi drivers were not compliant regarding the right of passengers to pay their fare by debit/credit card.

"The vast majority of our members are compliant", he claimed. So that's anything from a fraction over 50% to just under 100%. It means nothing, just a cop-out answer, which the radio presenter didn't challenge.

“It is what it is”

came to particular prominence during Covid. Usually uttered by those that don’t know what to say next and at the same time are happy to bend over and spread their cheeks whenever required. The most defeatist, mundane and braindead of sayings.

Stephen Kenny said it the other night in the post match press conference after yet another defeat. The perfect man and moment to deliver this piece of sh*t comment, sums him and Irish football team situation up.

Not difficult, but not natural either in casual speech to enunciate the individual sounds. There is the same discussion about the J sound in the pronunciation of Module. I think what is explained here for that case could also apply to the pronunciation of Tremendous.

The phonemic pronunciation is /ˈmɒdjuːl/. This is how you might say it if you were enunciating everything clearly. However, everyday speech distorts phonemic pronunciations into what we call "allophones". For example, the "t" you use in "kitten" might not be the same as in "tree"; instead you might use the "glottal stop", written as /ʔ/, and might informally transcribe it as "ki'en". We say that the glottal stop is an "allophone of /t/".

The term for /j/ (the IPA's symbol for English "y") is the "palatal approximant". "Palatal" means that it is articulated with the body of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth), and "approximant" means that it is produced by briefly pushing two areas of articulation together. Because the method of producing an approximant is so similar to that of a fricative (produced by constraining continued airflow through an area of articulation), the two types of sounds will often become confused.

Those who've never shown any interest in religion in their daily lives who wish a "happy birthday in heaven" to those who are dead and gone, how can this be??

Jeep is a feckin SUV

Jeep is a car brand owned by Stellantis Group. They make SUV type vehicles.

SUV stands for 'Sports Utility Vehicle' industry jargon... It refers to a type of car that sits high off the ground and which often has four-wheel drive and rugged styling.

"I don't mean to be bad, but..."

Disruptors.

I only see this online but it makes me irrationally annoyed when I see someone say "fit" instead of outfit. As in, what do you think of my new (out)fit? 😡
