    I/We can't survive on the dole, I might even have to cancel sky sports....

    Go get a f&cking job then you parasite on society

    Edit, that's probably one we share with Britain!

    Grammar nazi's are in every county. Pretentious w**kbags that have to abide by what the old English gentry pushed on our country hundreds of years ago and want to correct others on how they talk or write to make themselves feel relevant.
    Its buying into the old prejudice that still exists since they invaded and raped our beautiful country.

    What! You're on the dole!!?? You MUST only buy from Aldi or Lidl. Or I'll report you to the welfare inspector. That's the way things are.

    At least it has the advantage of being shorter than "C'mere till I tell ya"

    "Highly"

    Why the hell is this used so much?
    It's a standard word I guess?

    Not sure how any of the above is unique to Ireland.

    Bring instead of take!

    Very rarely will you hear 'take' being used here in a sentence.

    I'm bringing the kids to school.
    I'm bringing the car to the garage.
    I'll bring the dog to the vet . . .

    'would of, could of' and the likes. I mean one thing saying it as its hard to tell the difference when speaking fast, but in writing? Seriously?

    That's not an Irish-ism. You find this all over England as well.

    You know, it seems AH goes around in a circle. There must have been a million threads like this. One such thread was stolen almost word for word by Republic of Telly, to make up material for their 'You know you're Irish when...' skit.

    This is the one that does it for me. At the end of a telephone conversation.
    It's probably a way of saying "This conversation is finished, now put the bleeding receiver down!"

    Inventions of phrases that don't exist like "how and ever" drive me bonkers... its however... how they allow people on public radio that use phrases like that is beyond me.

    I find it more amusing than annoying but people misplace the third person a lot... I has and he have.

    - The "ah shure it'll be grand" approach that pervades everything in this country, which leads to everything being done half-assed
    - The "it depends who you get" approach to everything from Customer Service to the Gardai. Inconsistency and generally poor service being the norm
    - The "who you know" approach, resulting in nepotism, corruption and cronyism that is not just restricted to the political class
    - The "I'm alright Jack" attitude, no matter how short-sighted it proves to be
    - The "Keeping up with the Joneses" attitude which fuelled a financial collapse
    - The evolution of that into the "what are they getting that I'm not" attitude in the recession times
    - The shirking of personal responsibility and accountability .. "it's not my fault I'm up to my neck in debt! The Government/my mates/family made me do it!" Everything is "someone else's" fault or responsibility.
    - The liberal/politically correctness. Calling it as it is is now "racist"/"discrimination"/or some other emotive nonsense used to deflect and discredit the perfectly valid points being made
    - The Irish herd mentality.. related to the above, it's more important than ever it seems to be validated and approved of by the consensus
    - The inferiority complex.. related to the above as we have to show the world and each other how "enlightened" and "modern" we are
