May the curse of Mary Malone and her 9 blind illegitimate children chase you so far across the hills of damnation that the good Lord himself won't be able to see you without the aid of a telescope. (tis a saying like not personal abuse)

When people say "Thats Deadly" meaning good/great....

I used that while working in Canada.. They didnt have a clue what i was on about.. they thought the thing i was talking about was harmful when i used the word "Deadly"

Man in reference to women they find unattractive

I wouldn't touch her with yours

If I had a garden full of mickeys I wouldn't let her look over the wall

She has a face like a melted welly

She has a face like a jigsaw

Oh and this one I just saw in afterhours

she has a fanny like a wizard's sleave

Can't believe no one has got in with "Yore Ma" yet

A thread like this pops up every few months....i love em. It is interesting to note though that many of the phrases suggested are about as irish as a strawberry daquiri !

"I wouldn't touch her with yours" / "I have a mouth like ghandi's flip flop" / "That lad is about as sharp as a golf ball"

Don't get me wrong..i like them...i use them, but specifically Irish ? No.

It's the real irish one which are by far the most interesting !

Let the abuse begin.....

On an ugly bird

The south armagh sniper wouldnt take her out

If i had a box o cocks i wouldnt give her one

On an unlucky suitor
If ya fell into a bucket o tits you'd come up sucking your thumb

On some one with big teeth:

He'd thin turnips through a tennis racket

He'd eat an apple through a letter box!

On meaness:

He wouldnt give his sh*t to the crows

He wouldnt give you the steam off his p*ss

Evil_Clown · 18-04-2008 09:24AM

'As tight as a ducks arse'

'As rough as a goats hole'

On riding an ugly bird your excuse is:
'You don't look at the mantlepiece when you're pokin the fire'

Get up the yard, there's a smell of Benjy off ya.

On a person who is gravely ill:

He's dead only to stiffen!

Someone who is not strong:

He's as weak (wake) as a June robin!

On a fella who is well endowed:

He could beat (bate) asses out of a quarry with it!

If he wore wellingtons they'd cut the ar*e off him!

Some one who is mean:

He'd live in yer ear!

On someone large:

He's as big sitting as he is standing!

On someone taken after a parent/aunt/uncle/relative (typically when its an undesirable trait):

He didn't lick that off the grass!!
