Nope, the guy you quoted was right. Getting the shift is just kissing. Maybe with a bit of a feel if you reckon you're doing well.

Nope, if your under 12 it probably means kiss, if your over 12 it means riding her. Unless your from Mayo.

The idea that dubs don't go to Coppers is utterly laughable.

Coppers is many things, but one thing I always liked about it when I was a student that anybody who had any notions of themselves when they entered the place was disabused of them fairly quickly.

Dubs aren't allowed into the kip, unless your a w@nker, full of eager beavers on the way out though.

Where I am from, the shift (although the term has not been used since the 90s) has always meant just gob lobbing, nothing further.

were both right.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shift

shift means the same as to meet someone. people used to use it all the time,in ireland, back in the day when everyone watched 'den 2' religiously when they came home from school and when they'd spend their evenings with their friends looking for more 10p coins to buy another Mr.Freeze or three. Shifting was innocent, and it was fun! then you became a teenager and shifting had two meanings; you could just meet him or you could go all the way if you wanted to! help revive an old word and bring it back into 21st century conversation by using the word 'shift' NOW!!!! they brought back wispa's so bring back shifting too!!!!!!!!! go on, you know you want to, go out and shift him NOW!!!
Emma:"eh, will you shift my friend?"

James McEvoy:"Ok!" (in a really sexy scottish accent)
*****
Boy1: "D'ye shift her yet?"

Boy2: "No,i got this talk at school and i'm going to become a priest."

*awkward silence*

Boy1: "emm...o-kay then..." runs away.
**********
Emma: "OMG you shifted James McEvoy, you are like THE uber-shifter now!"

Aoife: "The what?!!"

Emma: "ehh, never mind! anyway did you shift him, or did you, you know, shift him?!"

Most overrated place on earth
Why the hell is it talked about so much? I don't know what I was expecting before I went there the first time going off the way people raved about it, it was such an average club. If you had told me I was actually in Dtwo or diceys or any other club on the street Id have believed it

Been once, reminded me of Mollys(now lone wolf) in Limerick, a disco bar for teenagers, zero appeal to me when I was there aged 22 at the time

Ha! That place is back to being called Molly's again, as of a few months ago. Definitely still the spot for 19 year olds and younger.

Are you serious, I don't drink much anymore but when I do, it's in pubs, with adults

Last time I was in there it was nearly empty. I think the re-brand as the Lone Wolf cost them customers because people were still looking for "Molly's" and couldn't find it. They'll do savage trade with Freshers' Week in UL, LIT and Mary I this week.

I'd be more of a Mickey Martin's man myself. /hipster :cool:

I'm in Moscow and it's never off Радио Москва (Radio Moscow), DJ Huudya Nikabolikov mentions it quite a lot.

ToddyDoody · 04-09-2016 06:47PM

Oh I see now it's called 'Coppers'.

I always thought it was Coopers.

Dick phelan · 04-09-2016 07:17PM

Been there twice, it's alright nothing special compared to most nightclubs or late bars though don't get the fame of it tbh, oh and yes i got the shift there which in my case means only kissing nothing more

So you didn't get a dick phelan, poor you, should have picked up some yoke lying on the ground getting sick and took her down a lane.

Copper Face Jacks is its full title.I have never been in it and unlikely to even be,but I have heard from people who have been there that it is nothing special.

I know a lot of people who rave about it and wont go anywhere else any weekend nights now though!

RayCon · 04-09-2016 10:13PM

Ive never been in it

HS3 · 04-09-2016 10:45PM

I swear blind I was never in the place, but my best mate insists we were. She can recall the full attendance in some detail, I have no recollection at all. I've no idea how or why it became so well known. Obviously it wasn't very memorable for me

But your awareness of Dublin night-life is severely lacking ..........

It is with regard to Coppers, as it's never mentioned on radio the way the OP maintains.

You seem to keep missing the kernel of the point made, in an attempt to employ an ageist argument. The age of the listener does not impact on the references made on radio.

Simon2015 · 05-09-2016 09:43PM

Coppers is a kip I never could undestand how its so popular.

I heard it mentioned on the radio today ......... 3 times, in fact ........ on 2 separate radio stations ....... so yes, Coppers is mentioned on the radio quite frequently.

I'm long past going to these places, but this bit, if true, would scare me stiff. I presume there's a dance licence. What is the numbers limit?

Wasn't there a stampede and crush outside Coppers in the last year or 2.
