[New Corrie]

WTF is going on? Why is everyone using these words all the time....random this, random that, etc

I was in Comet...ask the man..... is that Sony LCD TV wall mountable?....Absolutely! comes the answer. Next question, what are these TV's over there?...Oh! they are just random LCD's, he says. Finally I asked....what would be better, The Sony or the Toshiba? well according to the man, that was a No Brainer apparrantly!!!!!

Would you all please stop doing it, it's really starting to annoy me.

Thankyou

My next rant is about Commercial Radio Station DJ's pretending to be American. Stop calling people "Dude" and saying things like "cranking up and kicking in"...you're from Falkirk and not Detroit....Central FM and Forth are not "WYKO Minnesota", so please stop it!!!! You are just one up from being the DJ at Bilston Miners Club......stop it now please.

Thankyou

[Phil D. Rolls]

Other words that really get my goat are "communities" (business community, internet community etc) and solutions. Such as "personal beverage solutions" (public house). Private Eye run columns for both of these on a regualr basis.

[Marabou Stork]

The word 'random' completely infuriates me.

Also infuriating me this week are:
'Should of'
People taking photos in the pub
'I've only had one hour of sleep in the last....'
The number 11.

[Dashing Bob S]

God, how I hate those irritating trends where people sheepishly adopt the current (usually transatlantic) orthodoxy, thinking it makes them sound 'cool'. The kids have started adopting that dreadful Americanism "awesome" to describe almost anything that meets their approval. It's like fingernails running down a blackboard to me.

At least that odious practice of turning a statement? into a question? and pausing inappropriately? usually accompanied? with a slight cock of the head? seems to be on the wane?

If those who deployed this knew how ridiculous they appeared, they would stop. Perhaps someone has thankfully told them, as I haven't been subjected to that tosh for some time.

[Hainan Hibs]

The word "dude" really gets on my nerves, mostly heard when I'm walking around University and a group of clowns carrying man bags, getting their coffees from Costa and wearing stupid hats start and end each sentence with Dude. Should be shot.

My biggest hate is when adverts, usually for sofas or TVs say the individual numbers instead of the whole number in a lame attempt to make it sound cheap. 'This 3 piece leather sofa, now only six nine nine' It's six hundred and ninety nine you fud!

Not 'yoof speak' at all, but three bits of politician-speak are yanking my chain at the moment...

1. 'Hard working families'...this is referred to at least three times in every political speech at the moment. I'm desperate for someone to launch a policy for 'bone idle layabout families' but its not happened yet.
2.'Going forward' in place of 'in the future'.
3. 'Enter the world of work' in place of 'get a job'

All three, total nonsense:grr:

In a similar vein, the Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, Killers, Razorlight etc. are most definitely not indie music. I'd suggest reading up on the term before using it.

Hom-o-cide [hom-oh-seyed]
From Latin. homicidium, from homo "man" + -cidium "act of killing."

Meaning: The killing of gays. Historically, this term would only be applied if a gay had been unlawfully killed by a crazed "lol" hater. In recent times this has been widened to include any such unlawful killing of a homosexual person.

I had a disagreement with a guy at work a couple of years back when I told him to change his letter. He was adamant that “should of” was correct.

Agree with all the examples on this thread. This one brings out the mass murderer in me though. You know, that thing where people instead of saying 'yes' go 'yeh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..'

I've noticed it seems to be catching when some people are in company with other people joining in a 'yeh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..' chorus of sorts.



Edit: 'Woot'. Can anyone explain what that means exactly?

[Rory89]

"you shoulda seen him, he was CHEESING." :confused:

My brother (lived most of his life in Edinburgh like me) was saying how when he stayed in student accomodation people from different parts of Scotland all kind of took on eachothers phrases to an extent. Apparently when his flatmate from Prestwick was back home for the holidays he was having a meal with his family and without thinking said "I was cheesing" whilst telling a story.

His whole family looked round at him with a look of confusion before all pissing themself laughing. :greengrin


Anyway, the worst phrase in the world is "for the banter", hate it. "Do you want to go to the pub for the banter?". I suppose good banter is part of going to the pub, so yes. "Do you want to make pasta for the banter"?

No, I want to see you die a slow, humiliating and painful death, for the banter.

I found out what they are, anyone care to hazard a guess at what they may mean?

The worst part is someone actually said to me "Dilly Gaff,' which had me stumped.

What's the world coming to etc. :grr:

Got the dreaded "elephant in the room" comment yesterday:boo hoo:

[Dashing Bob S]

You've opened a real can of worms here, Duncan.

I have a good Hibby friend who hails from one of the less salubrious parts of our city, and he has this irritating habit of saying 'dinny go there' or 'you dinny want tae go there.'

Apart from the fact that the hybrid of this bland 80's New York yuppie phrase and his unreconstructed Edinburgh scheme vowels are a true marriage made in hell, he insists on slavish deploying this annoying term at any given opportunity. Like at the game on Saturday.

ME: We're being overrun in the middle. I'd be tempted to put Bamba in the holding role and move the central partnership of Hogg and Murray, with Spoony moving to full-back.

HIM: Ye dinny want tae go there. No enough height. We got away with it against Hertz but let's no push our luck.

ME: Galbraith on. Good to see Yogi's trying to win the game.

HIM (loud to the direction of the bench) : Dinny ******in well go there, Hughes!

I counted four on Saturday. Not a lot, but now that this thread's got me thinking about it, I anxiously anticipate the next one. I'm considering about confronting him with this, for my own mental health's sake.

Dinnae go there unless at the end of the day it's a win-win situation.

I can relate to that Bob, a pal of mine has managed to slip the words Basically and Actually into his Sighthill dialect.....

Me...That wasn't the worse result today

Him..Basically we were pash, but actually it wisnae a bad result

Me..These are games we would have lost in the past

Him..Basically Mixu didnae have a clue, but actually we're still rank

Me..Good reult for St Johnstone though

Him..Basically I coudnae gie a pheck aboot Hertz, I actually want them tae be like total phecked.

Me.. You wont get any argument from me on that last point.

Ha ha some good examples on this thread but I'm clearly in the minority as I positively enjoy spreading daft words and new phrases.....chillax is a great example of daft wordiness that should be positively encouraged but my fav this year was staycation.

I do however agree with the poster who posted 'banter'...I frequently find this annoying, mainly because it's often used retrospectively as an excuse "relax it was only meant to be a bit of banter"...you mean it was offensive but was somehow meant to be funny but wasn't....another is crac or however it is meant to be written.

[Woody1985]

Lets meet up and get our heads together :grr:
To be spasifick

And the one that i cannot fathom is when people close their eyes when talking to you. WTF ?
My Boss does it and i just want to run away and hide so he'll wonder where i am when he opens them again:greengrin

Folk that do this tend to raise their eyebrows at the same time which gives the impression that their eyelids are glued together.
Its weird ! Grow up man:grr:

:faf:

I think it's been said but the 'Yeah, yeah... yeah, yep, yeah, yep, yep' when you are telling someone something or giving them an overview. STFU!!! (has anyone pointed that one out? :greengrin

I find that people use 'for the banter' when they've run out of stuff to say, sort of like a gap filler until they can think of something else. People who speak to fast for their own brain. I'd agree that it is used as an excuse as well.

football people using the word "relish" get my goat.(and WTF does "get my goat" mean anyway :grr:)

[Hainan Hibs]

I have to add in some from using facebook.

Girls who murder words, for example "meeting up with the girlees" or "drinkees tonight?" should be given a boot up the arse.

There's nae need:grr:.

Jeezo, it's like an episode of 'Grumpy Old Men' in here :wink:

Similar, but an even worse subset is when people - usually salesmen - use you name far, far too often. "Well Mr Carpets, we think that our proposal is good for you Mr Carpets, and to be honest Mr Carpets, its a no-brainer option for you Mr Carpets. Well Mr Carpets, what do you think of the "future-state" we have described Mr Carpets?"

I know my name. Gie it a rest!

[down-the-slope]

WTF is going on? Why is everyone using these words all the time....random this, random that, etc

I was in Comet...ask the man..... is that Sony LCD TV wall mountable?....Absolutely! comes the answer. Next question, what are these TV's over there?...Oh! they are just random LCD's, he says. Finally I asked....what would be better, The Sony or the Toshiba? well according to the man, that was a No Brainer apparrantly!!!!!

Would you all please stop doing it, it's really starting to annoy me.

Thankyou

My next rant is about Commercial Radio Station DJ's pretending to be American. Stop calling people "Dude" and saying things like "cranking up and kicking in"...you're from Falkirk and not Detroit....Central FM and Forth are not "WYKO Minnesota", so please stop it!!!! You are just one up from being the DJ at Bilston Miners Club......stop it now please.

Thankyou

Remember when you point a finger..there are 3 pointing back at you

Having been out for a Christmas drink last night with some old pals, another thing that realy is getting on my nerves is people's tendency to describe any slightly off-beat situation as 'surreal'.

I had it all last night; from mundane TV to Christmas decorations, one friend felt the need to prefix everything with this term.

Surreal.

This is that true rarity, a Corrie Greens post that I whole heartedly agree with.:thumbsup:

My 2 faves........I DONT WANT TO BE CHEEKY BUT.........and the journey one........its been some journey....

[TariqE]

Agree with all the examples on this thread. This one brings out the mass murderer in me though. You know, that thing where people instead of saying 'yes' go 'yeh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..'

I've noticed it seems to be catching when some people are in company with other people joining in a 'yeh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..' chorus of sorts.



Edit: 'Woot'. Can anyone explain what that means exactly?

Woot started off in reference to objects or items of desire- Want One Of Those.

You got a new i-pod? Woot!

Now though, I think it's become some kind of general yelp of delight.
