He has a point though. It's a blight on rural Ireland at this stage.

It's up there with ..."so I'm like, whaddya mean? And she's like, I thought you'd have them" ...

'Serious',as in 'he's a serious hurler.
'Drive on' the Kilkenny crowd do my head in with drive on.
I 'turned around and said' then she 'turned around and said'.

what's also over used is people (journalists in particular)stating that the word legend is over used!

The word "unreal" is commonly believed to have evolved from the phrase "un-Reale", which was how spectators described the marking on Tipperary hurler Eoin Kelly in a Munster Senior Hurling Championship match between the counties of Tipperary and Limerick in May 2006.

Everything is ''fantastic'' when Tony Considine is interviewed and Ger Loughnane isnt far behind. A bit of variety please boys!

"dubbed the new"
e.g. "dubbed the new Lionel Messi" or "dubbed the new Mezut Ozil".
The BBC gossip column tends to be littered with it. Some fella comes along at 15 or 16 and is being compared so someone who is in the middle of their career or only just made a name for themselves. And then inevitably you never get to hear of them again.
