Get outta da gaaarden!!!!

pappyodaniel

Anyone remember the "get outta dat gaaaarden?" saying back in the day said in a ridiculously bad Dublin accent. Shocking. I used to shout it at anyone retrieving a misfired football into a neighbours garden when I was a kid.

hillarious

I remember that well. Dublin humour doesnt travel but so what.

Another football one was 'Hospital ball'

When crossing the ball to someone for a header we would call out "on the Sallynoggin".

That's another one. I took me years to actually find out the origins of it.

pappyodaniel

Ha! moved to the leaky basement of Boards.

I'm not really sure why it was moved here. Are you actually looking for clarification on the origins of the phrases?

Not really, but if someone gave me one i'b be happy. What I was aiming toward, was for others to get a sense of nostalgic and maybe post a few that I haven't heard in a while. Can you put it back into After Hours?

Moved from linguistics and etymology, might be more suited here, hopefully.

I know Simon Young, or someone on his show, regularly said it.

funktastic

It's definitely Simon Young.

Green Hornet

Yeah. Simon Young used to do a morning show and have a guest "Jimmy" on.

He was the one used to say it (although I suspect they were one and the same person). Used to hate that saying actually.

It just means a crap pass to your team mate, which could possibly get him injured...or worse...lose possession

I say "hospital pass". There's also "suicide passes".

I think football and the phrase "Get outta da gaaarden" are linked for me.

"Get outta da gaarden!!! If that poxy ball comes in here again I'm gonna put a f***in knife through it. D'ya hear me?!!".

Ah... so it refers to a poorly executed manoeuvre with a ball.

I thought it might have meant a punctured ball...

For some reason, I say Have a ging (a shot) too. I must have picked it up when I was a kid in Dublin.
