"Up" to Dublin, but "down" to Cork, "Over" to England etc.

    We never seem to go simply 'go' anywhere.

    We seem to go "up" to Dublin
    Down to Cork,
    Over to London,
    Into town,
    Out to Another place,
    Back to [BackOfBeyondsPlace]

    What other words do yalls use to supplement 'Go' when travelling somewhere?

    I love that people in Donegal can geographically go down to Northern Ireland. Of course we all go down standards-wise when we visit there but they can literally do it as well. Fantastic.

    I am a thread snoop, and I have to say I like this thread!
    Keep them coming!!:)

    Up, down and over to places, but if it's someone you fancy and you're lucky enough, you get to go 'off' with them. What's that all about?

    If you live in North Tipp then you would go to visit someone in hospital “below in Clonmel”.
    When the psychiatric hospital was there you would regularly hear a harassed mother admonishing a bold child with the barb “ will you stop for Gods sake you’ll have me below in Clonmel !”.

    So what you're saying is that you are north riding.
    And sometimes you would go south riding.

    No, there are parts that are geographically more northern than Northern Ireland. Donegal is in colour here, The North is in white.

    We'd use up to Letterkenny but down to Dublin. Where I live we have to go through Letterkenny to go anywhere!

    I go 'round to the doctor, across to the shop. In to the neighbour. Back to the house.
    Busy little round trip.

    North isnt always up from south though. Thats a misconception
