What are your funniest Irish sayings?

Aoife9 · 2007-09-24 15:53:01

Sorry if this in the wrong forum or if it's been done before mods please feel free to move if you must, but I lived in the states for a few years and my yankie friends used to crack up at the sayings I had, things I didn't even think were that funny like for example; she/he had a face like a slapped arse or a bulldog…

Great thread, sorry if these are repeated.
My favorites:

She/He has a face like a bulldog licking p1ss of a nettle

If I fell into a barrel of t1ts I would come out sucking me thumb - A very unlucky person!

If somebody down rural limerick gets asked a question and they dont know the answer, but want to seem like they do, stock answer is :
"yera sure, you know yerself"

Never found out what "yera" is supposed to mean, yera sure I suppose somebody on here will know
