Annoying things people say?

It was only when I moved to the US that I realized many Dubliners pronounce it Fil-uhms.

Where are you from? I know you're from Ireland. My granddad said fillums too.

I'm originally from Dublin, probably less than 2 miles from where Trollheart currently lives.

Oh I get it now. OK cheers.

[Trollheart]

Yeah most of us say fil-ums. We also call crisps crips, sandwiches sang-wij-es and pronounce Chicago as Chicargo.  Ye wide or wot?

Films/ Movies is a UK/USA difference, isn't it? I always used to say "films", but have since changed to "movies", I'm afraid.

"Going to the pictures" was also a common phrase in my childhood - sadly, we never rose to the heights of Australian rhyming slang:
 "Going to the flea 'n' itches: pit-churs"

^ Actually, the correct pronunciation of "sandwiches" is "sarnies"

This reminds me of a saying, we had as a kid to help remember how to spell it.

"Chicken in the cart but the cart can't go that's how you spell Chi ca ca ca go."

It worked for some odd reason even though it sounds convoluted and if you took it literally you would end up spelling it wrong lol.

As a native Dubliner I don't dislike Dublin expressions or pronunciations at all. I mostly find them amusing, such as:
sending the childer to sku-al.

[Trollheart]

Ah yeah they're great. I love the way we say "I got drowneded" and I'm pretty sure the phrase "Driving me up the wall" is unique to Ireland? My brother told me when he was in Boston he was trying to explain the concept of "yer man" and nobody could understand. They kept saying "but why is he MY man?" Some things just don't translate: yer man knows what I mean, wot? So does yer wan.

[Marie Monday]

'driving me up the wall' is not unique to ireland at all lol

[degrassiknoll]

I adore "yer man" and try to incorporate it into my vernacular often.

[jimmy jazz]

Every time I go on YouTube for music, the comments are 99% 'anyone in 2025?'

Its beyond ridiculous.

I've never seen anything like it.

It is a bit annoying.

If you can mimic a Belfast accent you might say: who's yer mawn, used in different contexts.

It just means who else is watching this video in 2025, begging for a thumbs up.

Its been a thing for years and years but you usually only saw it on videos that had been on YouTube since the early days (like 2005 - 2007).

But it is on literally every video now, and it isn't just one comment it's near every single comment.
