"If you can't see that...[insert something stupid here], you're clearly an idiot."
Saying someone or something is as funny as 'arse cancer'
'At the end of the day'
Say that to me and I will punch you
Also 'thats what she said' eg Sligoman while playing pitch and putt
I still won though, at the end of the day like.Quote:

I may have mentioned it or I may not have....
The combination of celebrity couple's names greatly annoy me. e.g. Brangelina, Bennifer and all that.
They have first names, use them!!!!!
Media: "Roy Keane's Sunderland". Didn't know that was the new name of the club.
Sports news presenters: "That's your sports news". No it's not. It's their sports news. I didn't write it.
Buzz phrase: "Going forward" instead of "in future".
95% of sports commentators: "Defeat to" instead of "defeat by". Lose to, defeat by.
Synergy
Go away right now please :mad:
Securitization. It just sounds so makey-uppy.
Also, makey-uppy :mad:
May have said this already, but the modern use of 'criminality' as a mass noun just f**ks me off no end.
The word is 'crime'. And 'crime' has always been good enough.
The fact that McDowell didn't think 'crime' was a big enough or impressive enough word for his various crusades is no excuse for the rest of us to keep using it now he's finally been kicked to touch.
"whatever'
The misuse of the word racist
The misuse of the word literally
The misuse of the word random "randomers" ffs
The misuse of the word savage
God that must literally be the most randomly savage rant. You racist.Quote:

"Come here to me"
In cork sounds like "come ere timmy"
"Bang out of order", "Mate" and in fact any colloquial English phrases used by Irish people on Irish websites, who spend too much time on English Football Message boards.
"I didn't interrupt you, so don't interrupt me" usually by FF people like Willie O'Dea or Dick Roche who have spent the whole time the other person was speaking interrupting, shouting down or talking over.
oh i hate that, theres a cork woman sits near enough to me, thats all I can hear when shes on the phone, as well as phrases like 'arrra', as in 'arrra I'll do it myself like'. <End Rant> :DQuote:

The complete overuse of "Absolutely" when voicing agreement in remotely anything.
Partcularly when people break up the word into pieces when saying it - "AAAB--Sow-Looote-leee".
HELLOOO, really does my head in.
Remotely anything? Booo... ;)Quote:

Usually best conveyed with a heady mix of aggression and menace - "Ye get me, Palt?"
Ever so. Ever so.
I was dating an Italian girl who was living in London, and everything was "ever so good" "thanks ever so much" etc. Then I heard my sister saying it last year, and I realised it's a completion of Eastenders speak.
Before that, and still going, is the "yeh". As in "Hi Alan, yeh." The yeh being - what do you want, you understand, and so on. Makes me very angry, and in the mood for slapping someone and telling them to watch Fair City, then I heard characters there doing the same. Bring back Dinny and Miley, at least they spoke decent english!
