    Something you'll often hear in Cork -

    "Look at tha' there, 'la."

    What?!

    I've thought of one more: "Yer beat out all roads!" (beat rhymes with 8) You're stymied. There's nothing you can do.

    I started a sentence the other day among friends by saying "muise" (muh-shah).

    They thought it was a right culch thing to say. My first language is Irish so I sometimes slip in the odd word unbeknownst to myself.

    Them lads off the RTÉ Storyland thing, "Hardy Bucks" are a goldmine for Hiberno-Anglicisms.

    Apologies if they were mentioned and if you find them offensive. I've heard of the following......

    "So hungry, I'd eat the ar*e off a low flying duck!"

    "So hungry, I'd eat a farmers ar*e through a hedge!"

    "Sick as 10 episodes of ER!"

    "She's goin' like a wh*re on rails!"

    "I'd leave a face on her like a painters radio!"

    "I'd whitewash her bowels!"

    "Leave a load in her the size of a cowsh*te!"

    *Chinese lad gives a chinese girl a jockey back out of club* Bouncer goes "here look a chinese take away"

    Scaldy Balls
    Short arms long pockets - Tight
    He'd line his pockets with rubber to steal soup - Tight / Light fingered
    "Here mate you dropped a triangle" - To a chap thats shaping / strutting
    "have you ever picked up teeth with broken fingers...?"
