"Get up that yard and help your father"

When watching The Simpsons at six the father walks: "is the news on yet?" as if he didn't know

"Go easy on that salt/ketchup, you'll poison yourself"

"You'd swear it was a hotel ye were living in!"

"Have ye nothing better to be doing?"

"Ye're dinner is on the table" when they want to help serve it or set the table

My dad still says this...

'do you see a taxi sign on top of the car... Swear i was a taxi'
Funny thing is that he was a taxi driver... Cracks himself up when he says it.

When you would run to Mammy to sort out the latest fight with a sibling
"I'll give you who began it"

For years I thought "whobeganit" was an actual word

pappyodaniel

My friend told me a good one after he came back from a week up at his cousins in Belfast. It was pissing rain all week and his auntie was getting fed up with having her own kids as well as another one from Clare hanging around inside the house all week. She finally flipped after a few days and told the kids to get out of her sight.

Her eldest said
"But Ma, it's raining ootside and there's nawtin' to do!"

She replied
"Can ye not think of anything? just g'way ootside and throw some stones at the R.U.C or somethin!!!"

I'm loving this thread, nice to know it's not just my parents that are nuts!

The most confusing one I ever heard from my mother was:
"Don't you dare look at me in that tone of voice..."

I still can't figure it out!

Mam: "what have we reared john"

Dad: "tramps Mary.....tramps"

the awkward moment when I realise my mother wasn't saying 'whoopy gannet'

If you were misbehaving or being an annoying little bollox in general "quick, come over here the guards are walking down, dont let them see ya!".

I was also lead to believe that "the guards have eyes in the back of their heads". Which to me, a child, took it as they actually had eyes hidden behind their hair on the back and it terrified me.

Instead of just recounting some event, spending a full five minutes at the beginning figuring out in which year it happened, even though it's not important to the story whatsoever.

You're not leaving the house looking like that

Duck Soup

In our house, we had a variation on the "Do you know who died?" line.

Ma (or Da): Do you know who died?

Me: No, who?

Ma: Niall Butterley.

Me: Sorry Ma, don't remember him.

Ma: You do, you do. [unspoken thought at back of my head: no Ma, I really, really don't...] He was married to a Corbett from Rush - you know the Corbetts? The Grandda Corbett was caught nicking coal just after the war and did six months in the 'Joy. Anyhow, Niall Butterley married Maureen Corbett - she was the second eldest I think - and they had that young wan with the lazy eye and the ginger hair. He used to work in the dairy in Laytown until he got laid off, so Maureen got a job with the hosiery factory which didn't pay well, but she never wanted for nylon surgical supports a day in her life. That Niall Butterley. You do remember him.

Me: [still no idea who Niall Butterley is, but admitting defeat and slowly losing will to live] Yeah ma, I remember him.

Ma: Well he's dead.

If the wind changes you'll be stuck like that.

Your hand will stick up in the grave, young lady.

Tell me now, if everyone else went and jumped off the bridge, would you have to go too?

My house my rules.
Do as I say not as I do.

Precious flower

'It's a great day for drying'
'Go to blaze's'
'Giving me the scour'
Various conversations of her contemplating whether to put the clothes out on the line.
'If I put the clothes out now it'll surely rain'
'As x used to say'
'Go play in the traffic'
'You've had a tough day have you créatúr?
'What's the bread situation'
'You might do 'x' for me' - nothing to do with might......:pac:
Listening carefully to the death notices on the radio to check if she knows anyone who has died.
There are loads more that I just can't think of at the moment!:pac:

"get away from that thing (computer) it'll make you sick"
"ahhh.... people can't actually catch computer virus's mam"...
"how do you know that???"

"too much of that (computer/beer/mobile phone) will blow your brains"

"its true, I heard it on Billy McCarthy / Joe Duffy"

"its true, I heard it in town....no I don't know who from, it doesn't matter" (random strangers never tell you lies like........)

(after listening to the deaths on the radio) " I suppose I better get up and do a bit since I wasn't on it today"

(sees you doing something she doesn't understand or has no interest in) "sure you're not doing anything there you could do ..... for me"

(looking for a discount on something) "she's just an orphan I found somewhere,and me a poor widow woman"

"I don't know anything about that, there was none of that in our time.. that's a new fangled invention" (covers everything from lesbians to remote controls)

"are you wearing a coat?" (do I look like I'm wearing a... oh Jesus,never mind....."
