    Probably the most common words in Ireland are: meet, Dublin and surrounding counties; shift, Everywhere else; See ,Northern Ireland, Score, D4; Go away with, Limerick. Which word for kissing do you use? and why the hell is there so many?

    Wear , Northside; as in, "Goan, will ye wear me mate..."

    Ha,I heard the term "face" before! Like as in "We were facing each other".
    Confusing stuff I tells ya! I usually just say I scored someone or
    (simple as this may sound) that I kissed someone.

    Stupidest use of a word ev4r. It used to be "Mother, I've met someone." meant you were going to marry them.

    I agree. They're all stupid. But it's hard to stop using them.

    "Goan, will ye wear me mate..."

    Sounds just a little too "Silence of the Lambs" for me :/

    "i gripped her" is the latest idiotic kissing phrase up here in norn iron


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 848 ✭✭✭Dinxminx


    Oh my God I've never heard half of those.... Americans get fairly surprised when you tell them you scored a randomer though! ;)

    and they get very confused if you ask "how's she cuttin'?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭gucci


    i think you will find no woman will turn you down if you suggest "doggin it into her!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭BobTheBeat


    To get off is another one.. i.e. "I got off with her".

    Feek is another one, but I think it stands for a couple of things, not only kissing. (???)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,851 ✭✭✭cletus


    I've heard "eatin' the face off" as in " he's eatin' the face offa yer wan"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    'Trimming Audreys Beardsley'... perhaps not

    Up here in Derry its just go with is the normal "i went with her a few times" "im gonna ask her to go with me" shiftin is a strange one but "doggin it into her" !!

    Me and my friend had a Sleaziest Bastard competition one time. I won with:
    Me - "Hey hows it goin?"
    Girl - "Not bad"
    Me - "Havin a good night?"
    Girl - "yeah pretty good"
    Me - "Fancy a shag?"

    Poor girl, she was mortified!

    Not about kissing but shagging/havin sex..

    In Australia they use a terrible saying "I'd give her a good rooting"
    How awful is that! :eek: Ah, ye gotta love 'em though! :D

    Hehe I'm just back from Australia where I was travelling with a girl named Ruth. It provided much hilarity for the natives.

    Down here in Cork, it's usually "meet" or "score" too.. meet just sounds nasty but it's quite common, classy so we are..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Shift down in the south east. Though personally I prefer french, which is the american one

    I hate most American terms a few of my friends keep saying "making out" and it drives me nuts!
    But meet, get off with, score, shift and do are fairly common round here I personaly love slagging people "Ohmigod you're so doing him!!!" and then they get the wrong end of the stick....giggles!
