    Another one beloved by RTE is ‘quarter’ becoming ‘quawter….. I mean, if you are going to ignore the first ‘r’ why include the second ‘r’.

    Also ‘plice’ for police…… Mary Wilson… hello.

    Trope and whoosh

    Still don't know exactly what they mean

    Seems to be mostly the combative type posters using similar words

    Whoosh is the sound deadlines make as they fly past me (to paraphrase Douglas Adams).

    “My bad”

    Hope that idiotic response fades out of common usage soon.

    This whole 'red flag' 'green flag' thing to describe a trait in someone which immediately is a full characterisation of the person

    I just started to read through this thread to see if anyone posted "I don't want nothing" when they mean they don't want anything/ want nothing and many other double negative variations when they mean the opposite of what they say, but I have seen this reference a few times now. Is it the misspelling of the word Angel that bothers people or those that mean to say that the deceased are with the Angels now?

    I have also found people celebrating the deceased's birthdays very odd by posting the age the person would be had they not died. And also elderly people who want to celebrate their birthdays months earlier just in case they don't make it. It would be great if we could all celebrate being centenarians even if we don't make it. Wouldn't that be pointless

    Epic....

    Every sporting occasion is an "epic" tussle these days....completely overused to the point that it has no meaning anymore….

    There is a radio avert at the moment where the guys says Arland for Ireland, so annoying and he is clearly Irish himself, but cant even say the word correctly.

    Affectations on ads, esp, and it's usually female voiceovers that do this, the drawn out pronunciation OAAAAR for the word "or".
