Most annoying words

[Hardy]

Whenever.

Hoy noy broyn coy.

[screenexile]

"So it is "     (Baker Bradley)

I thought it went more like "saa it is"

[seafoid]

"The reality of the situation" which is just a fancier form of STFU

"wealth creators" instead of "very rich people who don't want to pay taxes"

"comes from a well respected local family" ie the criminal is not a t**ker

[AZOffaly]

I hate the phrases like 'tots emosh' or however the feck you spell it. Comes from watching that vacuous brain inhibitor television that they call 'reality' I think.

 " early doors" How stupid is that saying.

[Hardy]

Morning Ireland is a monstrous recycling centre for worn-out cliches.

The devil is in the detail.

The elephant in the room.

The proof is in the pudding (even more annoying because it's not only a cliche, it's a cliche now rendered meaningless by misquoting).

And "in terms of", usually as the first three words of a sentence, but liable to pop up anywhere. This filler phrase is the Japanese knotweed of the English language. Morning Ireland is merely the site of the worst infestation - try counting the number of times it's used in one programme and I bet it will be dozens - but it's sprouting up everywhere in the English-speaking media now.

Oh God yes. Where in the namajaysus did that come from? I remember when it used to be treated as a comic eccentricity when some English football manager used to spout it. Now it's used in normal conversation by people who expect to be taken seriously.

Edit - apparently this is where it came from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Doors#Etymology_of_show.27s_title

Saying "mind" at the end of a sentence gets me too...Mark Lawrenson is a terror for it when commentating...

"on the High st" when discussing retail business in Ireland

[Lar Naparka]

Anything Kevin McStay comes out with when in game analysis mode.
"Poor shot selection set" is my pet hate but the list is a really long one.

"And the ball is with.." as used by many GAA, soccer and rugby commentators.
"Result" meaning  win is nearly as bad as "at this point in time" where "now" is all that's needed.

The Dubs' habit of sticking "roight?" at the end of every sentence when attempting to explain something to another person."
"So, you take the first left, roight?
" Then you go straight on, roight?"

[muppet]

"Going forward" 

Words the The Indo sticks in relentlessly to try to influence your thinking on people:

"The Baron of Ballsbridge" Sean Dunne
"The glamorous" Gayle Killilea
"<insert any of a multitude of compliments>" Averil Power
"Glamorous wife" Karen Woods
"Style icon" Karen Woods (Examiner rather than Indo)
a "cool" <insert any amount of money anyone ever got> e.g. he received a cool €2,000

This is an EPIC thread

Some of the sums I received for my Confirmation could not be termed "cool".

Nordies saying mind instead of remember.
