End of ................................................

[sligoman]

"Shut your face!"

"Fact!"

[Sligo Hornet]

"at The End Of The Day, That's The Bottom Line"

[Rory H]

"I'm going to call the police if you don't stop following me"

[TonyD]

"Going Forward" is my new pet hate. As in "We'll be looking to acheive maximum results going forward" Horrible politico/business speak. Also, aways hate it when people start sentence (usually politicians again) with the phrase "The reality is...."

[First]

"ak. Also, aways hate it when people start sentence (usually politicians again) with the phrase "The reality is...."

I'm always saying that but its because most of my mates are living in the twilight zone

[paul_oshea]

i hate the expression, "done good" and "showed character" and "anyone seen" more to be honest.

[Raheny Red]

"Shut your face!"

Shut your noise!

[finlma]

When people add the word "literally" to the end of a sentence when it is anything but literal. e.g "there were millions of people at the match, literally"

[stann]

'Source?'
'24/7'
'How's it going down there, are you under pressure?' invariably asked by some gimp on the phone when you're up to your eyes at work.
'Air-con'
'Winningest'
'Sandi Thom'

[kingdom hoop]

The tautological ones like 'literally' or 'to be honest' are my bête noire.

Jamie Redknapp is literally the best in that business; 'Alonso and Sissoko have been picked to literarlly sit in front of the back four'. :eek:

[osarusan]

"very unique"

"a man who needs no introduction" (invariably followed by an introduction)

when people say "we" instead of "you"........such as nurses in a hospital saying "how are we feeling today"

Ooo, that's a bit of a cause celebre. I think it has the panache to give it a bit of je ne sais quoi. C'est la vie I guess.:)

Mange tout, mon frere, mange tout. It's all oeuf sur le plat anyway.

[Bluebeard]

I'd say the worst phrase in the world is:
"Roddy Collins, your thoughts on the game..."

[Wolfie]

"Going Forward" is my new pet hate. As in "We'll be looking to acheive maximum results going forward" Horrible politico/business speak. Also, aways hate it when people start sentence (usually politicians again) with the phrase "The reality is...."

On a related theme to above - There's a great game you can play called "Bull**** Bingo".

1. Simply write down all of these over-used phrases on your Bull**** Bingo card.

2. Attend a meeting at work.

3. Mark off each of the phrases as they are inevitably uttered during the meeting.

4. The first to get a full house stands up during the meeting and shouts "BULL****!!!!".

Great game!!
:D

[TonyD]

One I forgot earlier - "Heads Up". Grrrr.

[Risteard]

This is a funny thread.
However there should actually be a punishment on message boards for the ignorant use of my choice.
FACT!!!!!!!

[kingdom hoop]

A colloquial version of the 'Bull*hi*' game.....

'Not being funny or anything, but to be honest at the end of the day the words I'm saying are literally the worst in the world, and that's a fact so shut yer face and don't use them, end of, but no offence like.'

(if you just keep adding in the irritating phrases you have the perfect salutation to ward off undesirables:) )

[Schumi]

You come out with this after the election campaign. :mad:

[SligoBrewer]

the fact of the matter is... :mad:

"Hello, and welcome to eircom League Weekly..."

[Calcio Jack]

Mine is ".. need to find closure.."

or for the week that's in it " Bertie is a real man of the people.."

[Wolfie]

Is there any more annoying phrase in the world than "end of"

Usually used by people spouting rubbish (yeah I know, I know...) looking to have their opinion count and unwilling to have it challenged

1. "Ole Ole Ole"
2. GAA commentators referring to goalkeepers as "The Custodian".
3. "Early Doors"
4. "Doo-lally". An English phrase that Irish people have adopted.

5. Irish people using the phrase "That's a bit Irish" to describe something in negative terms.

[osarusan]

Mine is ".. need to find closure.."

YES!! How ****ing annoying.

[paul_oshea]

birds usually use that one.....

[SkStu]

i hate "all i know is..."

is that really all you know? really?

[KoemansCC]

Mate of mine utters the phrase "The thing about it is...." before every other sentence....

ASAP....

Anyhoo...

'Whatever'

Saying itchin' instead of scratching...

[Anto McC]

nah, my choice is the worst. End of.

Even ahead of "Nuff Said"?

[Dodge]

Even ahead of "Nuff Said"?

Ooooh, that'd be a close one alright

[Anto McC]

Ooooh, that'd be a close one alright

True,i hate them both but "Nuff Said" is the most annoying to me,i think it's the spelling and pronunciation of whats supposed to be the word Enough,that puts it just ahead of "End Of" in the annoying stakes

[GavinZac]

Wrong!

Wow. Just... Wow.

youse dont have have nothin on double negatives. FACT! End of!

(this post is too annoying for me to 'preview')

edit:

Add "Its called ..." and "the words pot kettle and black come to mind". Awful.

[Risteard]

"the words pot kettle and black come to mind". Awful.
I agree.
It's about as funny as a dead spouse.
The next time someone posts that i'm going to say
the words shove, tired, overused, catchprase, hole, up and your come to mind.

"a man who needs no introduction" (invariably followed by an introduction)


I'd love to say that in a meeting ... and then just walk away/sit down :)

[Peadar]

I hate when people say, "my bad!"
They've screwed up, you're cheesed off and they want to drive you over the edge, by saying that stupid phrase.

Another one is, "yada, yada."
There are people who use it in every second sentence.
If large parts, of that you're saying, can be replaced with "yada, yada", then you're not worth listening to!

[BohsPartisan]

Another one is, "yada, yada."


Ever see the "Yada, yada, yada" episode of Seinfeld? Classic!

[Schumi]

"all about" as in "I'm all about skiing" meaning, I like skiing a lot. :mad:

[Wolfie]

"High Jinx" - usually said by Oul wans from the country describing a "bit of a do" at the Community Hall.

"There was shandy available, ballroom dancing, and all other types of High Jinx until "the do" ended at 10 past the eleven!!"

[Poor Student]

Anyone ever noticed the American trend of saying "I could care less" meaning "I couldn't care less"?:confused:
