You know you're really Irish when...

...you tell the barman to put the change in the poor box.

Not read the whole thread but... Half NI

Teapot on hob to stew.

Have a wee cup a tea, or a wee fry on a Sunday.

Beckin/bockin instead of fucking. Get te beck.

Get away we ya.

Aye, sure, so it is.

Million cups a tea a day.

Bread & butter with everything. On a piece plate. "Would ya like a wee piece with that?".

A youngone or a yun'fella being a 'bleedin ride'

I'll hit you a scelp on the bake/coupon

Hah! Am working backwards from here but...

The great end of the bread debate. I have always called it the heel and have had to explain myself for this many a time.

What else would you call it ffs??

when i was really little my uncle had a pub with his house attached to the back. Sometimes the bar would be open really late but then suddenly he would turn all the lights out in he bar and we would all have to pile into the house with hushed voices about 'the guards' coming.

I had no idea who 'the guards' were, nor had I ever heard of the concept of a lock in!

"She needs the length of a lad" intimating that someone may be uptight and need a good ride

You start an anecdote with 'D'you know what?' Then the person you're talking to says 'What?' And then you go on with story.
Took a lot of training to get my poor husband to get that one...

You dirty article!

Or, c'mere till I tell ya...

"She just needs a good bit of flute in her"

Oh yeah, I do love the expression 'he got the ride'!

"Ye dozy bollix"

ooh yeah... c'mere til i tell ya - always meant good gossip was coming

Or 'D'you know what happened me yesterday? And Irish people go 'What, tell us' even if there is only one of them and English people go 'How on earth would I know what happened to you yesterday?' Which is quite a reasonable response really :-)

WAIIIT til I tell ya what yer one is after doing now!

'Come ere until I see ya'!

'Did ye see the late, late?'
'Ya good thing'

Oh, the late late... "roll it there, Collette", even though that part was about 40 years ago

there's one for everyone in audience!! Do they still do that now, in these hard times??

He wouldn't give you the steam off his piss...

Thread still making me smile as half of these I do, but didn't realise it was because I'm Irish .

Slainte, is Skinny Malink an Irish thing? My mum sings that to my DSs now! Just thought it was a kids sing song thing!

Oh yeah Ryan still has one for everyone in the audience!
