My grannie's question "What ails ya?" always left us puzzled;
NCD locals once told me about a flood in "the gripe beyant" , i.e. that ditch over there;
That boat needs to be "clen an' screp", i.e. its paint scraped off;

My generation had a suggested destination for ne'er do wells and a location for pretty much all other matter in the universe, i.e. "up the yard";
Any uncouth individual was "a member of Macra na Feirme";
Their sisters would attend live music shows and ask the vocalist to "spih on me, Dickie"

Perhaps in twenty years time, posters to this thread will barely remember the US sit-com speak that sooooo infests our speech today....like!
