Ever slip a Father Ted reference into real life?

I use the "I read that... somewhere" when I can't back up what I'm saying.

When I used to work with my dad, he had a huge (and I mean huge) wrench. Whenever my mum dropped into the shop, he'd go get it, then ask her if he could "put his massive tool in her box". Lovely, dad, thanks for that.

"of course, some of those girls are in their twenties by now"

You can change twenties for any age!

I constantly quote Ted, it doesn't matter if it's unrelated or highly inappropriate.

Serious conversation about World War II? "You've nothing from the Allied Side?" "No, that sort of nonsense wouldn't interest me at all." Just broken up with your boyfriend? "God, it was like that wedding in Clones with the Blue Nun."

It's like Tourettes or something, Tedettes maybe?

I tell people that they can say no because it's a lovely word Our Lord gave us here on earth for when we don't want any cake.

Watching the Rose of Tralee it's impossible not to say that they all have lovely bottoms. I've tried, it's impossible.

Was at a funeral a couple of weeks ago. My mother starts raving about the priest, how down to earth he is and how lucky the parish has been for getting "good priests".

Was going to go with the usual "mhm." but instead came back with "He does a great Mass!"

I use the "oh right" all the time, and some of my mates too, especially when someone comes out with a frankly rediculous statement.

Theres a guy i work with, and calling him inept would be a compliment. so whenever the manager gives him and task involving any responsibility i always remark "YOU LET DOUGAL DO A FUNERAL???"

one of my other wormates said the other day that i was in bad form and had **** banter, i remarked with "feck off, cup"

I've mooned in the pub whilst pointing to my arse crack saying"Would you believe me own dog did that to me?":o

Use this one, all the time. It explains a valuable concept in too easy a way to ignore.

Down with this sort of thing !!

Fairly constantly.

All the time!

My favourites are reacting to situations with either, "****in hell!" or "Well, well, well, what a pretty picture Father Crilly/[Insert person's name here] has painted. HOW, HOW DARE YOU bring SHAME on this CELEBWATION of SHEEP!"
