    No way.

    "I'll do that now in a minute"

    Saying "yeah" as someone ends a sentence, realising you don't agree and say "no" = "yeahhhNo"

    "Arragh whisht"

    the word "het" e.g. "the baby got all het up and started crying"

    A girl you don't fancy:
    "I wouldn't ride her into battle"
    "The tide wouldn't take her out"

    If I had only done such a thing:
    "Sure if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle"

    Being drunk last night:
    "Lads I was never in America but I was in some state last night"

    Describing someone that's bad a soccer, football, rugy etc:
    "He wouldn't get a kick in a horsebox"
    "He wouldn't get a kick in a Jackie Chan film"
    "He wouldn't get a kick in a stampede"
