A thread like this pops up every few months....i love em. It is interesting to note though that many of the phrases suggested are about as irish as a strawberry daquiri !

"I wouldn't touch her with yours" / "I have a mouth like ghandi's flip flop" / "That lad is about as sharp as a golf ball"

Don't get me wrong..i like them...i use them, but specifically Irish ? No.

It's the real irish one which are by far the most interesting !
