Irish debate enders.

greencap

Anyone else notice these little phrases that pop up in Irish arguments, and automatically make you right, no matter what.

Like 'cop on' or 'you must be great craic on a night out' or 'good lad'.

How do they work?

It's like you could say 'no, water is not dry' and then all the other person has to say is 'yeah, good lad' and they auto-win. Even though wrong, they become right.

What is this trickery?

They haven't won, they are signaling their opinion isn't worth listening to and to disregard whatever they've said. So in effect the listenee wins by default!

It's my ball and my rules.

This is when a penalty decision goes the way of the ball owner even if the alleged foul was at the other end of the pitch. Nothing trumps it.

There are no winners in arguments.
Work on your communication skills if you find yourself argueing a lot.

Don’t worry about it OP it’s just the local versions of the common Americanism.


We have : “you must be great craic on a night out
They have: “you think grass is green? You racist misogynist homophobe! I’m triggered!”

We have: “cop on”
They have: “snowflake libtard cuck”

Ours seems less aggressive somehow, in a classically couldn’t be arsed irish way

Hyperbole is a word much loved and used by those who wish to appear knowledgeable on boards.

I never ever hear it used anywhere else.

"As per usual, anyone with an opinion different from the accepted orthodoxy is immediately shouted down"

Seems to be how racists avoid having to respond to people who disagree with them. When they do it it's challenging people on their bull****, when others do it it's being shouted down. It applies to any form of disagreement however mild, and it instantly ends the argument.
