    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.

    It means they love nothing more than hot & sticky kitty on kitty action ...

    Female cat = she

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

    OP l think its when you call someone SHE when you know their name and therefore it's kind of insulting.:)

    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.
