That most famous of days for the Irish today – St Patrick’s Day.
So to celebrate, here’s a few Irish-isms I have picked up from my travels.
And no, I have never once heard an Irish person say ‘top o’ the morning to ya’ or ‘potatoes, potatoes’!
Grand – great
No bother – no worries
Howaya – hi
You right there? – you Ok?
Jesus, Mary and Joseph – anything
Your man – anyone
Fair play to you – well done
Yoke - thing
‘tis – it is
Em - um
Lads – any group of two of more men
Feck - Fuck
Eejit - Idiot
Fierce – adjective, very
Desperate – adjective, bad
Gasp – expression to exemplify/highlight
Softness - rain
Would love to hear any others
