my latest dislikes are:

coalface - either your the echelons of society or your at the coalface. i work part time in a library, hardly shovelling coal 150 feet below ground with an unconcious budgie, not to mention turf is the traditional fuel of ireland. fucking journalists.

pop rarities / obscurities - pop, being an abbreviation of popular would make this a contradiction in my eyes.

"green shoots"

 

[ann post]

whats that?

 

[therealjohnny]

"green shoots" the phrase everyone is using to suggest the recession might be over

I didn't mind when one person used it but now it's universal

and thus i declare it "soooo.. like meh!"

[ogy]

people who say "does be" or "do be" instead of is or was

i think thats because theres two present tense verbs for "to be" in irish, tá for something thats true right now, and bí for something that happens regularly. theres a few things we say in english that are from irish. like when we say "i'm after going to the shops" because of "táim tar éis dul go dtí an siopa". apparently it sounds strange to non-irish people who would say "i have just been..." or something.

how come whenever anyone mentions pool/snooker, someone says "the sign of a misspent youth". is there a word for these little things that people rattle off in response to certain topics?
