What's something you are snobbery about?

[reecejackox]

Fizza pop for me ,- won't drink the cheap stuff.

[Oliver_W]

When people pronounce ask as "aks". learn to speak ffs :joker:

I only like biiiig dogs, don't see the point in little yappy things :laugh:

[LaLaLand]

Your, you’re and also there, their and they’re being used incorrectly.

Also spaces between words and punctuation! Like this ! Argh. :joker:

I don’t like buying clothes in charity shops just bc I have a weird thing about wearing something someone might have died in

[The Slim Reaper]

Strangely worded thread titles.

[Kizzy]

Mystery meat... if I can't identify it as a cut of an animal, nope.

[Jigs]

I'm snobby about pillows, no matter where I go I get fumed if the hotel has **** pillows. At home I can't sleep on a soft flat tired pillow.

[Mystic Mock]

Pizzas - I love Restaurant/Takeaway Pizza, but I am much more picky with Pizza from the Supermarket.

Burgers from the Supermarket.

Stoke City FC - Like come on how did we finish below that thuggish team?!:joker:

Soap Operas

[Kazanne]

I hate being called 'hun' and when people start a sentence with 'so' and also when people say a bit of liquid , it's a drop , you can't get a bit of liquid .

[Niamh.]

I like to end my sentences with so

[UserSince2005]

People who live outside of Zone 1.

[joeysteele]

I think you're okay there Niamh.
Kazanne only said starting the sentence with 'so'.

Actually I think I sometimes do myself however.
I'll be possibly getting ticked off by her.

'Could of', 'should of' etc are big ones for me as well

[Niamh.]

'Could of', 'should of' etc are big ones for me as well

Oh yeah that's annoying, I hate the grammar police though so I usually just cry on the inside when I read/hear that :laugh:

[MTVN]

I'm quite snobby about alcohol I guess as well. Don't drink lager a lot but if I do it needs to be a premium beer like Morreti or Estrella, baffles me how people can drink stuff like Carlsberg or Fosters as their usual. Would never drink cider either if they only have stuff like Strongbow available or stupid fruity ones. Even with ale I don't really drink it but would still judge someone for wanting something like Doombar if there were nice local ales on

[MTVN]

Oh yeah that's annoying, I hate the grammar police though so I usually just cry on the inside when I read/hear that :laugh:

[joeysteele]

Not sure if I'd term it snobbery, it's more I just don't like anything they sell.

I avoid Gregg's like the plague.
I just don't like even going in the place for to get things for others.

I also don't like Subway either.
The smell in that place puts me off eating.

[Oliver_W]

omg same on both points!! Grammar nazis should be strung up by their own dick..tionaries, but people who say "could of" or "should of" should have their typing fingers remove.

[Niamh.]

:laugh2:

Oh and this one as well, saying "Do" instead of "Does" eg :

"Do anyone know what time the shop closes?"

[Liam-]

If we’re talking language wise, ‘I could care less’ being used to described how unbothered someone is, it’s not right, stop it immediately, winds me right up.

[Ammi]

...I’m trying to think what I would be snobby about/..maybe more, pet hates...

...I don’t eat any type of spread anymore, no buts it has to be butter...noisy eaters/people eating with their mouth open, I just can’t be in the same room...or the same universe...

If its a language / grammar thing - it drives me mad when people don't know when to use "lend and borrow" and "teach and learn"
Will you borrow me a tenner? :mad: No but I will lend you one.
Will you learn me to drive? :mad: No but I will teach you

[Oliver_W]

...’cost an arm and a leg..’...huhhhh..?...
Loan sharks and bookies used to take people's limbs as "payment" if they defaulted on their repayments, that's what that phrase comes from!


Oh and this one as well, saying "Do" instead of "Does" eg :

"Do anyone know what time the shop closes?"
Oh god, reminds me of someone I used to date. He'd ask questions, but leave out words like what/when/who etc. "time did you wanna meet?" "was that actor you were talking about?" etc

if he was EAL I could understand it, but he wasn't. Drove me up the tree.

[Kazanne]

:laugh: SO Joey, what's all this then ? it's not the worst thing to be honest,but is it a new thing ? I have never noticed it as much as I have of late ,everyone seems to do it and Niamh Iv'e not noticed people ending their sentences with it, but I will be looking out for it now. :laugh::laugh:

You little tinker, I knew you'd possibly come back to me on it.:joker:

Actually I came across one I'd heard before too which has always made me want to question the term.

Someone said when I gave them something.
'' That's terribly good of you''.

I scratch my head as to how terribly and good are a good combination.

I'm going to watch myself in case I say 'so' now.:joker:

[Niamh.]

No one in Ireland says "to be sure" unless they're taking the piss out of people taking the piss out of Irish accents :fist: I say "don't ye know" a lot though to be fair

[Ammi]

Well the Mrs. Doyle thing is true, that's why it was funny on Fr Ted because that always happens. When I was going au pairing in Boston years ago, I went with a group and beforehand we had to do first aid courses and things like that. One of the classes was on cultural differences and that was one thing they actually brought up, if you ask someone if they want something to eat/drink and they say no, don't keep asking, they mean no :hehe:

I only know a few tbh, so I do

I think that one is a bit regional, people in Cork generally don't use it. I would say more Donegal and Northern Ireland more so?

[Smithy]

Isn’t this normal for everyone though

No idts anytime I say it to someone they’re like “well it’s been washed!!!” Aye well tell that to a cadaver dog!

[Shaun]

When people say "brought" instead of "bought" or vice versa.

Oh and if you can't spell 'definitely' get out of my life

An Irish kid I used to work with would become really Irish when he was annoyed. One time it was impossible not to laugh when he yelled "that fecking scut threw a pen at my head, so he did!"

I don't know if this is snobbish, per say, but I'm really funny about people's voices. I get increasingly so as the years go on. In real life they don't bother me so much, but the amount of youtubers I can bear listening to has plummeted :joker: I was never especially into being talked at through a webcam, but now I can't even have them on in the background. There are some films and tv shows I have to have really quiet with subtitles too :joker:

[AnnieK]

My mum was born and lived in London but lived in manchester for the majority of her life. She didn't really have an accent till she was really angry.....then she sounded proper southern even though she'd not lived there for yeeeaars

[Oliver_W]

My local accent/dialect is weird ... we sound like posh cockney farmers from Yorkshire :joker:

[JerseyWins]

In the summer, being anywhere indoors that doesn't have air conditioning - even if there's a fan or something it's just usually insanely too hot/stuffy inside in the summer heat. I'd much rather be in the heat outside where I at least feel more fresh air :joker:

(I'd be a major snob about it in the UK from what I hear about ac or lack of :skull:)
