Gobsh*te, always been my favourite word, oinseach (Irish for female idiot) is another good one. Sometimes it just the way we use that English language that I love, it wasn't until I lived abroad that I really understood how we've made the language our own.

Discovery
For when it's raining 'It's Lashing down'.


Misty Blue
'I wouldn't send her out for a bucket of turf'-Old Donegal saying about a female who's a bit on the rough side.

Take her handy.

Keep her lit.

If someone is annoying you, they are blaggarding.

To ask someone to be quiet you might say whisht!

To accomplish something quickly is to do it fairly lively.

How's she cuttin'? A suitable reply is Grand altogether if you are in good form, or Survivin' if not.

The word gas is often used to mean hilarious, but if you are called a 'gas man'


Sshhhh! It's Podge and Rodge
If it was raining soup he'd be out with a fork.

I use, "I didn't lick it off the stones", meaning, a personal preferance or like is inherited, or was something my parents did.
Another one is " I wouldn't throw him out of bed for eating crisps", meaning he's gorgeous, I'd put up with his bad habits. I have extended it too, "I'd give him crisps, peanuts and pizza's in bed", meaning I'm totally smitten and anything goes.

I love fecking gobshite , though.

If you're enough lucky to be Irish...
You're lucky enough!


May the Lord keep you in his hand
And never close His fist too tight.


May you be in heaven a half hour
before the devil knows your dead.


Do not resent growing old.
For many are denied the privilege.


Bless you and yours
As well as the cottage you live in.
May the roof overhead be well thatched
And those inside be well matched.


I complained I had no shoes
until I met a man who had no feet.




May your heart be warm and happy,
With the lilt of Irish laughter,
Every day in every way
And forever and ever after.




God is good, but never dance in a small boat.


Get on your knees
and thank the Lord
you're on your feet.


May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.


May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.




May the saddest day of your future
Be no worst than the happiest day of your past.


Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.


May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent!


May the leprechauns be near you,
To spread luck along your way.
And may all the Irish angels,
Smile upon you on St. Patrick's Day.


May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.


There are only three kinds of Irish men who can't understand women— young men, old men, and men of middle age.


If you lie down with dogs, you'll rise up with fleas.


A Turkey never voted for an early Christmas.


Here’s to a sweetheart, a bottle, and a friend.
The first beautiful, the second full, the last ever faithful.


May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.




As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!




These things I warmly wish to you-
Someone to love
Some work to do
A bit o' sun
A bit o' cheer
And a guardian angel always near.


Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
And live every day as if it were your last.




May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.


Men are like bagpipes: no sound comes from them until they're full.






Five frogs are sitting on a log. Four decide to jump off. How many are left? [Answer: 5.]
Why? Because there's a difference between deciding & doing.






A family of Irish birth will argue and fight,
But let a shout come from without and see them all unite.




Don't bless with the tip of your tongue if there's bile at the butt.


There is no fireside like your own fireside.


A friend's eye is a good mirror.


The man with the boots does not mind where he places his foot.


An Irishman is never drunk
as long as he can hold on to
one blade of grass and not
fall off the face of the earth.


A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea.


There's no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down.


It's no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking.


The world would not make a racehorse of a donkey.


You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.

I'm sorry, but it's the best I can do. I did think about it, but did not want to get dragged into the quagmire of such as 'byegorrahs' etc.
