A Skangers weapon of choice at times - a slang word to describe something as very good - "Massive".
I can remember describing Vanessa Phelps to a work colleage as "Massive".
She replied - "What - like, she's deadly, like?". :rolleyes:
Just as well no one from outside a major city plays soccer here thenQuote:

Walk into your local mace and ask where the coco pops are... you'll get told by the pompus manager they are in the aisle behind you, between the cornflakes and the weetabix. "In terms of popularity we realised cornflakes & weetabix had the upper hand, so we positioned coco pops between them in a strategic attempt to tempt the normally health conscious cornflake buyer..." I only asked where the coco pops were....
Honestly, every time I ask a question these days, at work, in the supermarket, in the barbers.. some clown decides to give me a pointless answer, but throws the all important "in terms of" in the middle therefore instantly earning some sort of undefinable believability.
"In terms of" I guess its a the John O'Shea of phrases but its really beginning to get up my nose.
Lost ya at the word soccerQuote:

England actually do have another game with football. The correct name for rugby union is rugby football.Quote:

There is nothing worse than living with someone who uses this term "TAKE A CHILL PILL", every second minute, take my word.
And I do hate football being nicknamed "soccer". The only people that use it are those that favour rugby and GAA, or am I wrong because anyone I know who is big into football actually call it that?
The use of the word "everyone". Here are a couple of examples I heard on tv/radio recently:
"Jack & Vera, everyone's favourite couple". :confused:
"Everyone tuned in to the final episode of Life on Mars". (never even heard of the series)
Just because the person talking is actually interested in the topic, they think "everyone" else is as well.
Years ago, I knew a guy whose conversation consisted almost entirely of quotes from D'Unbelievables. Now, I'm not a major fan of them, but one or two quotes, with a few months in between, might be acceptable, or even funny. A constant stream of them is not.
I saw the same thing after the Budweiser ad with all the actors whouting 'WHASSUUP!!' into phones or intercoms. For an excruciating time, everybody (Just for you, Owlsfan!) was doing it.
In classes or more likely training seminars/focus groups.
"There's no wrong answers."
Grand, I'll just head back downstairs then. Course passed.
The latest buzz phrase from the RTE Panel: "weak at the back" and then they show maybe 3 clips from 90 minutes showing the opposition creating some chances to show just about every team as "weak at the back" :rolleyes:
Thought id resurrect this one. When someone hears a song they like in a club or on the radio and they go 'TUNE!' I really hate that.
Christ that sounds really annoying.Quote:

People that use the phrase "You're a Pet" or "Thanks Pet".
