Irishisms
img.src
I have been on Steemit since July and I am throughly enjoying my time here. As I said before to many of you. I write how I speak. I have a couple of Irish followers on here so they know what I am on about most of the time but alot of people especially those from the states and Asia think I am speaking a different language. Most of my comments are asking for an explanation what something means so I finally decided to put all the Irishisms into one simple go to bible. If you ever come and visit me in Ireland you will hit the ground running as you will know what we are all saying while you are there. We will start off with the most popular one.
Craic:
Sentence:
He is some craic
We had some craic last night
He's boring but after a couple of drinks he's a bit of craic.
To the foreigner craic is pronounced the same a crack. It basically means laugh or fun. Take the second sentence. Anybody would think we were drug addicts but that is not the case. Craic is used commonly by everyone in Ireland. We love having the craic.
me aul flower
Sentence:
Deirdy me aul flower. I didn't see a post from you in a while
Me aul flower means my old friend. It does not mean that you are a withered old pansy in need of watering. It is a friendly saying meaning the both of you have a friendly history.
She is sound out
Sentence:
Did you meet Flood's friend Bungalow? He is souuunnnnndddd out.
Sound in Ireland means a really nice person and easy to get on with.
Be ta Jaysus
Sentence:
Steemit was 8 quid at one stage. Be ta Jaysus
Jaysus is the Irish word for Jesus so technically we do not take his name in vain. If you put be ta in front of it , it expresses surprise. Jaysus is used mostly in Dublin. Here's a great example of Jaysssuusss in action.
Bollocks
Sentence:
Fuck off ya bollocks
I am in me bollocks
You're only a bollocks
You heard this saying in the video as well. Bollocks is used in many different ways in Ireland. It basically means testicles. The first sentence is self explanatory as is the third. The second sentence means that one is not going to do something.
Are you going to Ann's party tonight?
I am in me bollocks!, Ann is a dope
Therefore you shall not be attending Ann's party as you do not think highly of Ann.
Arse
Sentence:
I am in me arse
Used exactly the same way as I am in me bollocks. Arse is the Irish for ass or bum in some languages. The sentence I am in me hole means the same thing also.
Fecking eejet
Sentence:
He's some fecking eejet after that
Feck
Feck it
A polite Irish way of saying the word Fuck. eejet is just the irish way of saying idiot.
Gobshite
Sentence:
He is some gobshite
Gobshite is a person that is you don't like. Say if someone skipped you in the queue you would call him a gobshite.
Stop the Lights
Sentence:
Mary got a boob joob
Stop the lights
Stop the lights expresses surprise. Lots of countries use You are kidding. We use this phrase.
Ride
Sentence:
He's some ride
She's some ride
Would ya like a ride?
They were riding away upstairs until his banjo string broke and there was blood everywhere and we had to call an ambulance.
A ride means many things yet again in the emerald isle. The first two here mean that the person is good looking. Good looking enough to want to have sexual intercourse with.
The third bullet point is a person asking if they would like to have sexual relations.
The last one is an accident that happened to the male uncircumsized penis during sexual relations that causes extreme pain and uncomfort.
Langers
Sentence:
He was fair langers last night
This sentence means that he was very drunk last night. There are a few more words to explain drunkeness here in Eire also. They are :
Rat Arsed
Gee Eyed
Full to the Neck
Full to the Gills
Fucked
Steeming(no not online)
in the horrors
banjaxed

I'm from the west of Scotland and there's a massive Irish influence here, most notably on the Scots language and place names. Most people probably have Irish DNA. So it amazes me how different the Irish slang is from Scottish slang. The only words we use are "gobshite", "fucked" and "rat arsed". Bollocks has morphed into bawbags here. Try explaining "Ya bawbag" to an Asian visitor.
When I visited Dublin years ago I saw old men wearing Fcek t-shirts. I like the Irish sense of humour.

Whatever you use the sentence for! So if someone asks you if you are going to a party and you say “I am in my bollocks! . It means you are definitely not going! 😂😂
