    "Good man yourself", said really, really sarcastically.

    I thought Sausage and wally were more English terms of very mild insults.

    It's not a specific word, but I like the 'I'll __________ you' line.

    "The traffic was bad, ok!"

    "I'll traffic you."


    "Is there something wrong with your alarm clock?"

    "I'll alarm clock you."

    "He's nothing but two ends of a dog's bollocks!"

    "You bastard's bastard!"

    "I'll dance on your grave!"

    "I'll beat you with a horse's cock!"


    (to overweight person he was trying to manouvre around in small kitchen*) "you're like a fcuking articulated truck!"

    A few funny ones in my family over the years, alright :P




    *I was the overweight person.. still found it funny though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,825 ✭✭✭BalcombeSt4


    Ya orange bastard.

    It's a multi layered insult - to people who were to much fake tan, to members o the orange order or to people who drink tango.

    That is usually meant as a sectarian insult, as bastards are not the sex that typically wears too much fake tan. A bit like "Ya fenian bastard".

    A better example of an Irish insult would be an Irish mother shouting at her misbehaving child,who may have committed another foul deed " ye were always a ******* disappointment, ye were"

  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,976 Mod ✭✭✭✭Insect Overlord


    Translated from Irish:

    "May the ****es turn sideways inside of you!"

    "A pox of eternal crabs be upon your bollocks!"

    and the fabulous, "May the cat eat you, and the Devil eat the cat!"

    Refers to the bang ****e or BO off someone. farmyard aroma "Benjy".

    I'd call you a c*nt, but at at least a c*nt is good for something.

    I'm sure it came from the character Benjy Riordan, from (almost) the first Irish soap, The Riordans. It was rural-based so that'd go along with the farmyard smell theory. The programme actually inspired Emmerdale (Farm).

    Old translated ones from books are great:

    "May your friends have a fine day to bury you."

    "May you fall and not rise."

    "May the cat eat you and the devil eat the cat"

    Wasn't too sure if that's where it is from but yeah that came up in a search its probably the closest thing it can be associated with.

    Easy.

    My son came home upset because his teacher called him a flute, hadn't heard that one in years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,064 ✭✭✭irishfeen


    Not really an insult but when someone asks you to do something .... "I will in my hole" .. how Irish is that :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,052 ✭✭✭Matt_Trakker


    Can't pick between my favourites, so I've put them into a sentence

    Does anyone use 'Spa' anymore?

    'Amadán' was another the Christian Brothers would use.

    I always love seeing people from outside Ireland try to process Traveller insults like 'Your fat head is swollen with the innocence'.
