Interesting words and phrases you've heard today

Just heard a guy on RTÉ Radio 1 use the word "karfuffle". I'm not sure of its spelling, but I gather it means something like rí rá agus ruaile buaile/commotion. He then went on, dismissively recounting somebody's opinion with the words 'mar dhéa!"

The last interesting word I heard was "goother", which I guess must have its origin in rural Ireland.

"Two this morning, both to the tesco girl who served me on Tuesday." This is from a poem on the subject of masturbation ( http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=60192012&postcount=1 )and is such a wonderful phrase that I intend to steal it and use it as my own.

I'm older than Minecraft goats.

"Give the little bollox a battering"

Written on a note accompanying a bold 5 year old who had been sent out of his classroom.
Primary teachers are the funniest people ever.

Fact.

I think thats Palavas, refering to one being palavas drunk.

An a lad at work says "bullifits" when refering to how drunk he was. He's from Monaghan.
