    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.

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

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

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

    You're a whore's abortion; a real (pronounced "rail") thundering cúntbag

    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'.
