    Who says this? A Brit friend was making fun of me for saying it. :pac:

    It must be an Irish thing, like Go raibh míle maith agat? But then it would be 'thanks a thousand', I suppose.

    Thanks a mil! Grand, deadly, no bother, your man, your one, I'm 'after' doing something. Get slagged for those aswell.

    Something vaguely related, I read this YouTube comment and I died a little inside. Written in some sort of basic knackerish?

    Mile is a thousand in Irish I think. So saying it in Irish you are dividing your thanks by a thousand, serves the english right.

    It literally means "May a thousand thanks be by/at you".
    There's also "Go raibh míle míle maith agat", which means "Thanks a million".

    Unless I'm being thanked a billion these days I would see that person as being ungrateful.

    some people say it all the time which can be annoying.

    I would only say it to someone who did me a big favour.
