Saying hello in Ireland

demanufactured

How do most of you AH'ers say hi...


Ones I often hear....
Me:Well how's things..
Other person:Arragh tearing away like a tinkers shirt.

Me :hi how are you.
Other person: pulling the divil by the tail lad.

I usually start with "Give me your wallet or I'll kill you".

I know...not the most sociable, but at least I have quite a bit of money.

Just thought of years ago lads I used to drink with came up with "what's the J, A, double Z" as a greeting. It was hilarious for the first drunken hour, was annoying for the next six months.

The amount of awkward conversations that's after getting me in to.

I learned the hard way that when in Amsterdam, it's not wise to greet people with 'well any craic..?'

Well done you...

making fun of the rape of a traveller. Is that how you'd greet your daughter if she walked through the door?

"Arragh" .... are you looking for a part in a John B. Keane play or something?

Travellers would not be known for being raped. Fighting yes. It may be a stereotype, but it's not of the OP's making.

Edit, actually, think you may just need to reread the OP's post and ask yourself :pac:

Oh yeah sorry, I thought it was 'travellers skirt'.. which would indeed be stereotyping in a derogatory way...

No... travellers shirt... that's definitely not stereotyping or derogotary.

Carry on, enjoy racism responsibly.

Correct!

Both of these are how I deal with greeting people, 97% of the time, although sometimes it's a "Howya!" complete with a slight nod of the head.

Frynge

If the head nod is not done correctly it can lead to ungasthly things like conversation.
