    An oul lad pontificating about the local guard not catching any of the lads breaking into houses:
    He wouldn't spot a goose in a bog.

    A 25 reference to someone who is dying:
    He's 20 for out with the 5 in his hand.

    When someone is doing something you approve of:
    That's yer mowl.
