    'Shor'.. I use this word about 30 times a day.. Pretty certain no one outside of Ireland would understand it.

    How about

    "Hows your gee for a gallop?"

    The state of ye..

    The head of yer man...

    Beef to the heels like a Mullingar heifer...

    That beats Banagher...

    The wittiest Irish expression in common usage "f*ck off", unfortunately we forgot this one when it came to the Troika and the bond holders.

    He wouldn't work to warm himself.

    That fella hasn't done a tap of work in his life.

    He's only good for wasting tinfoil.

    I'm flat broke, I haven't as much as a washer in my pocket. I'm putting my hand in my pocket the last 6 months and feeling nothing but my leg.

    Heard this in a pub in Glasgow a few years ago...loads of Irish in watching a soccer international.
    A local hen party arrived in, and one of the Irish lads, throwing shapes at the bridesmaid, says: "Jaysus but you're a flaking bird yourself".
    A line I'm sure she hadn't heard before.
