Irish Slang and Phrases part 1! - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fISnwbhxlZvTYdI.html

As a Spaniard who lived in Ireland for a good few years, can say with certainty you become bilingual once you understand a conversation between two drunk dubliners. In all seriousness, loved watching the vod and remembering when/how I learnt all these terms on the spot!

Oh, Jaysus! Your video is deadly, class, sound! Fair play! C'mere til I tell ya, you're number 1. When I see you, I'm on cloud nine. You have incredible, breathtaking, bewitching charm! Adore your voice. God bless you! ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

I love your presentation style. Like we're having a pint. We're an American family getting ready to visit, doing our research.

Easter is my Irish season I feel the most Irish . My grandmother was a huge easter person very religious and loved to make our candy by hand , our dyed eggs were works of art . Baskets that could have won awards with fresh ribbon and flowers . 💐 for my granmom who is still the center of my universe.

I come from the North West of Scotland, a few of these phrases/slang we use as well, it's always lashing down here 😂

I have family in Glasgow, love Scotland! Glad to hear we have a lot of similar phrases 😀💗

From the Midlands..."put the Welly down" (step on the gas) generally on a long, straight stretch of road.

I too am a celt living in Canada . After 45 years here I still have that Falkirk accent😇😅😎

I love these vids, thank you! So excited to come back to Ireland in less than two weeks! Cheers from Michigan in the US.

My fave use of the word yoke was by me Ma. We were in town (Dublin) and popped in to a shop with a bakery inside. Me Ma, go love her, went up to the counter and said to the lady behind the counter " give us a couple of those yokes" The ladys face fell to the floor. " yokes?" says she, "yes" says me Ma" those yokes there behind ya" "we slaved all day making these" says yer one " and you call them yokes? " She was joking but me Ma apologized profusely any way. LMFAO One you haven't given everyone yet is BLACK as in packed. "don't bother coming to the club, it's black, ye'll never get in"

When you mentioned 'yoke,' a bit of Philly slang came to mind for me. Here in the US, in Philadephia, the equivalent of the term 'yoke' is 'jawn.'

"Me brain is melted" is a phrase I've heard.

An outstanding presentation...One thing is for certain, Wolfe Mamma is no Waffler. Well done & quite entertaining!

In south Louisiana we say “come see” which is basically the same as “come here to me”. I used it once in North Carolina to a coworker and she just stood there trying to figure out what I wanted her to see. Our hometown college mascot is the Ragin’ Cajuns. So I got 2 right away!!

The intracicies of the english langusge. Especially in Ireland. The same word can mean so many things. It is situation dependant 🤣

The grand auld stretch 😂😂😂😂

Looking forward to Ireland in September. I’ve learned a lot from your channel, and love how charming you are!

My Irish American family who mostly live in or near the Irish area of the Bronx also say “In a state” and “state of you”. Hear it plenty from my aunts after my cousins have been out at the pubs 😂

My dad's family (3rd generation born in the states, all around Boston area) also still used some of these phrases which sounded strange to me growing up as a child, but now makes a lot of sense. Especially: in a state, mind yourself -- also after, as in want to. "I'll be after going to see the teacher about you." RIP these sweet souls.

You tell me lol where should we go? What should we do and see?

This bring back school memories

‘Lack’! In Waterford, the lack, my lack is my girlfriend, similar to mott in Dublin.🙏

I am glad you are making videos again. It has been lashing, ever since you stopped, ...really! ...that is how I felt... ...and, now, that you're back, the sun is shining!

So the one of the archetypes of a waffler is uncle Colm in the series Derry girls if I get it right?

Thank you so much for your videos I am coming to Ireland on May 1, 2022 and this has helped my understanding so much

Great to see you back! This could be something very out of date because my da said it: "Amn't I damn apt" for "there's no way in hell I'd do that"... I think it's not like "I will yeah" when you're just saying no. it's more like a sarcastic response when the idea of doing something is out of the question or preposterous, like "Take a job at that place? Amn't I damn apt". As I say it could be a very old thing, or maybe a Munster thing.

Glad to see you again. Don't stop showing your programmes. A lot to learn from Irish/English. Very well presented and waiting for more.

"Naff" was a (slang?) word I heard in Ireland that I don't think you covered in either Part 1 or Part 2. I flat out made my friends tell me the meanings right away. Also "faff" or "faffing" ! A very useful word because I don't think we have an American equivalent to it. In the 8 years I was there I never heard "giving it socks" which is a great expression! Thanks !
