The word "muppet" as an insult
Irish people saying mate and bloke
'With all due respect' gets me the most. You know the person saying it thinks you are a tosser.
People who use Random instead of cool or funny.
Gigs. Gaff. Scarlet. When people say im bullin for a ****.
Totally with you on this one. I have no idea where it came from but it's horrendous.Quote:

When people raise their voice? At the end of a sentence? As if they're asking a question? Makes me want to beat them to death?
"Doo-lally" - as in, "He just went completely Doo-lally".
GAA commentators referring to the goalkeeper as "the Custodian".
The superfluous use of "very" in conjunction with superlatives. "I was very elated". There's no need to qualify how elated you were, you're either elated or your not!!!
Irish people using the derogatory phrase "That's a bit Irish". It is indeed.
"Stop following me and hiding in my back garden" - I hate when I hear that one.
Oh my God thischarmingman, that's just like so weeeird! Did you know right, get this, I was thinking the exact same thing, that's just amazing. This is true; right from the get-go it's been grinding my gears, but the recent revelation that some of my (male, non gay) friends are doing it and even worse, a brother, is causing me serious disquiet in my moments of silence. What is happening to people? My nearest and dearest becoming like those I want to shove as far away as possible . Oh despair!
Seriously, can we inaugurate some conveniently initialled 'against the incredibly annoying question inflection', society? Time for all kindred spirits to unite against this dramatically propagating force of evil, I say! Let's put an end to the madness going forward!

I'm guilty of using the word "random"Quote:
