Things you hate people saying

How was your holiday? - Yeah, it was fab

or

What do you think of the latest movie? - Yeah, its wasnt for me

.......... Its not a Yes / No question! What are you saying Yes for ?

Has anyone noticed on the traffic news on RTE radio they are now saying a road is "solid" if it's busy - what is that about?? I've only noticed it in the last few months. Very annoying. Would any Irish person ever say a road is solid if the traffic is busy??

If it is Irish people saying it on the radio, then yes, an Irish person would say it. It is part of the English language in England and America as well, so no harm is being done.

England: Callers to BBC Radio Oxford said the extra closure, between the Botley Interchange and Hinksey Hill, south of the city, was "ridiculous". One listener, Trevor, said: "I've been in five miles of traffic in every single direction you can think of. "I'm now half an hour late for an appointment I had and it costs everybody time and money." Mark, driving to Bicester, told the station he was stuck in "solid" traffic approaching the Botley Interchange.

America: Illinois State Police said the crash happened around 7:20 a.m. in the southbound lanes at Sayre. There, a truck struck a wall and items from the truck fell off of it, police said. No injuries were reported but "solid" traffic continued more than hour after the crash and Blue Line train service was disrupted.

Fully understand it is part of the English language but I have never heard an Irish person say it when talking about traffic. I'm not saying any harm is being done, just that it annoys me 😊

People saying 'dang' instead of 'damn'

People who say "inclement weather"............just say bad weather FFS!

Irish people saying "Lets be avin ya"

When people start a sentence with "well I mean" when they start a sentence about a new subject.

"Gettttt innnnnnnn !"

Been called "Far Right " for when you want things to stay the same .

"Right Wing" is the new "Fascist", a cover all term for a person, group or opinion anyone dislikes.

Oh my days.

What does that even mean?

"Happy holidays!"

Fcuk off and die with yourself.

The weather has been very mild recently but dumb fcuks are still starting smalltalk conversations with " oh, it's very cold" as that is what they are programmed to say.

Content Creator: pissing around online is a job now.

Anything "curated" when it's not a museum or art gallery.

“It wasn’t blokes in tracksuits who ruined the country, it was blokes in suits.”

F*ck off & die, you absolute c*nt.

In 200 years time, our discussion about traffic terms could be used by lexicographers to chart the course of linguistic development. Solid may have come and gone in a few years from any widespread usage. Or it could have gained a strong foothold. The same for other terms like Logjam, Tailback, and Rush Hour. What they all have in common is that they emerged since the Motor Car, now called the Car.

We have resources going back for hundreds of years, to show how words come and go and change. It seems that in every generation there are people who want to stop any innovation in language usage, but they have never succeeded.
