In terms of verbal:

‘If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best’

‘I do not bite….hard

In terms of facial, it is smirking or over exaggerated eye blinking

Any combo of that above you definitely would get a slap

I went to see Russell Howard live and he did an hilarious sequence with 'if you can't handle me at my best' line. Russell Howard bent over shaking his ass as he retells quoting that to his wife will be what I will see in my head next time I hear it

I don’t care if she looks like Salma Hayek and has the ability to suck a golf ball through a garden hose if they have “if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best” on their profile it’s a left swipe and a block.

‘Living it large’ - as was invariably, typically uttered by cheap cider rendered, inebriated morons back in the day (whilst dancing in an awkward and decidedly uncoordinated manner to some ‘banging toons’)

During Covid, there was an Irish Government decision to relax measures and allow people to meet up over Christmas.

They referred to it as ‘ A Meaningful Christmas’

The sentiment was great in fairness but the expression drove me demented.

I did mention the 360 problem to a rather annoying manager once. She somewhat lost her shit and quoted corporate handbook page 4 "You need to have a Positve Mental Attitude" Nick. Ahhhhhh...PMA...how I miss that one too.

Thankfully, her boss was my old boss (a best friend these days), and he quoted "Nick's results are currently the only thing making your department look good" back at her.

She did an enormous 180 after that .

The word "like". It's used pretty much continuously by anyone under 40 years old in a completely inappropriate way in every sentence that comes out their mouths. Apologies to everyone but you will now hear this too and it will drive you mad !

I can't stand it when people on FB write things like "so I did a thing" followed by a big brag about something.

Also when people say "I'm not been funny but... Just before they massively slag someone off.

I am also not too keen on anything you see in a stereotypical spinsters house.

If slogans were to be beleived, ALL women over 25 are fueled by coffee, gin or prosecco.

I saw one in a shop that said 'bye bye coffee, its prosecco time!' and i actually told it to fuck off

When the bar staff ask what the customer would like to drink and the answer is "can I get......."

No, you can't get, that's the fucking bar staff's job!!!!!!!!

Also, on the subject of drinkers, the ones who order a big round and leave the Guinness to last.

It’s just the shorter way of saying ‘I am annoying wanker that’s desperately trying to sound cool by using shite Americanisms for no good reason’

No1. "I'm not going to lie".

No2 americans use this way too much. " go ahead and" or " i went ahead and"

Remove both of these from the sentence, they are not needed. Can you imagine needing to stop in an emergency, and some America shouts ((( go ahead and stop))), oh too late. Oops. Grrrr, sentence needed to be (((stop))).
