What are some expressions similar to "Oh my goodness"? |
I am looking for colloquial Irish sayings that have the same meaning and usage as "Oh my goodness," "Oh my gosh," "Holy cow," "Heavens to glory," etc.
I know the Irish use the above, but I am looking for some uniquely Irish phrases to do the trick (but nothing stereotypical like "Begorrah!"). Thanks! |

Anything that comes out of my mouth generally requires a donation to the swear box afterwards - at the moment I'm doing some nice variations on the c word (rhymes with punt)
I've near heard any Irish person use the word begorrah except when they're taking the p*ss out of the yanks
edit: for the person handing out the thumbs down, Irish people swear & we swear prolifically, we make truck drivers look like amateurs |
