    Ive heard some ferocious ones that i think are hardly turns of phrase more put downs
    Like someone with protruding teeth.
    'He could eat an apple through a tennis racquet.'

    To thine own self be true

    Worse than that purple.

    She had a fanny like a ripped out fireplace.

    My dad is stoic when he loses on the horses.

    “Not a bad horse. Took ten horses to beat him”.

    The tide wouldn't take her (or him) out.

    In my younger days having given my boyfriend a lovebite. Overheard his buddy say "she could eat an apple through a tennis racket". No regrets.

    Something/someone small = "not the size of a good shyte"

    A short person = "not the size of a big dog sitting"

    A nervous person = "shaking like a sh*tting dog"

    Someone with big teeth = "could chew a turnip through a letterbox", "could eat an apple through a tennis racket"

    I'd eat the leg of the lamb of god


    I'd eat the c*nt off a low flying duck

    Just to clarify. I don't have big teeth.

    "Nice turn of phrase you've heard"

    Not one of these are nice, in fact they are the exact opposite. What a depressing place.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,201 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    Make your mind up ="shyte or get off the pot"

    Stingy ="tight as a duck's arse underwater" or "tight as a camel's hole in a sandstorm".

    For a stubborn person.

    They'd decline a box of matches and carry on to rub sticks.

    A quote my dad uses when I worry about something: " Fear doesn't avoid danger"

    "An empty house is better than a bad tenant"

    Wise words of wisdom from my dad after I puked from too many pints, aged 19.

    My father used to say that after farting.

    It would be like throwing a sausage up O'Connell street.

    Like opening the drapes and fúcking the night.

    “If only it should only happen to me.”

    ''All his money went to Hell.''/ ''All his money went to heaven.''

    After watching the behaviour of a customer in a pub a few years ago I decided to bar him the next night he came in. After 10 minutes of pleading and begging he came up with this gem.

    "If St. Peter is anything like you, heaven is going to be a lonely place for me."

    Before he left he left me with another one.

    "Ya fúckin príck."

    An old phrase for diarrhoea - the hurry out and the delay abroad .
    You'll pay dearly for that - that'll be the rock you'll perish on .

    "There's no pockets in a shroud".

    Meaning we can't take our money with us when we die. A way of saying live now/don't be worried about money.


  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭Hedgelayer


    Always arrive at the party with one arm longer than the other...

    Meaning don't turn up with out a bottle or food or something perishable

    "I'm so hungry I could eat out of a scabby nappy"

    "I'd suck farts out of her arse"

    They're so mean that they only breath in.

    Your a little treasure, you should be taken out and buried.

    She wouldn’t run too well on soft ground.

    And no tow-bar on a hearse.
