    Why, when someone refers to someone else as 'she', do people sometimes say 'Who's she the cats mother?' ?????
    I dont get it? Never got it. My ma always says it and iv heard other people say it and just thought it was one of these weird irish things that people say but then the boss said it today and she's from new zealand?
    I wasnt aware that the phrase was that widespread... and its wreckin me head that I dont know what it means!!! :confused::confused::confused:

    I think it means that if you refer to someone as "she" when you know her name well ,it is taken as somewhat derogatory.

    Well considering the most Googled word in Ireland is "Lonely" then that might explain this thread.

    Very good! Well seein as your such a smarty pants can you answer this? No googling allowed.

    I turn polar bears white

    and girls comb their hair.
    I make celebrities look stupid
    and normal people look like celebrities.
    I turn pancakes brown
    and make your champane bubble.
    If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
    If you look at me, you'll pop.

    Put a pic on AH and let us all decide what it is.

    Without seeing it my unprofessional opinion is to burn it off with a hot poker from the fire.
