    Money won't make you someone your not, it allows you to be who you really are.

    Never step on anyone's toes to get ahead, in the future they may lead to the ass you need to kiss

    God doesn't take a check (Meaning your money's no good to you when you die)

    It’s like rubbing lard to a fat pigs arse.

    He'd rob you of a decade of the rosary

    I've seen more fat on an oven chip.

    He'd rob the eye out of your head and come back for your eyelashes.

    He'd get up on a cracked plate.

    We used to have a teacher and when he’d want to give you a dressing down would get you to stand up, deliver his ‘talking to’ then finish with...”now sit down there like a good lad and take the weight off the floor”


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭FMG


    He'd ate a picture of the Last Supper :D.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭Sharp MZ700


    I could ate the back feet of a low flying duck. (I'm starving)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,615 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    He couldn't even lay straight in the bed.

    Couple of variations of the same one.

    Flat-out (pause to sound like you're actually busy) like an egg in a pan.
    Flat-out... Like a lizard drinking


    Hungover
    "how are you after last night"?
    "sick as a hospital" or "sick as a bus to Lourdes"

    The opposite.

    If he fell into a barrel of tits he'd come out sucking his thumb.

    This is my Aunts favourite phrase and funnily enough it applies to herself.

    (After hearing someone had passed away)... "Hell won't be full without him/her!"

    Guy I worked with told me about a fella where he's from used to say, 'Burst pipe and phuck it!' a lot when he was under pressure.

    Another one is, 'I never met the baytings of him', in other words I never met anybody like him.

    'She'd turn the milk sour', pretty self explanatory

    He thinks he knows it all but he doesn't know enough to know that he knows nothing.

    It's not exactly a well established phrase, but the "do, do" people say from time to time really is endearing.

    Not a classic example, but in this Pingu video at 1:40.

    Had forgotten tgis one but reading the fabulous Ross O Carroll Kelly today reminded me:

    That will really snap her crayons for her.

    I've read a good few f them but never came across this. Is it something that will make her angry?

    When I was a kid, if my dad sent me to the shop for something, he’d say “don’t be there till you’re back... and if you fall, don’t wait to pick yourself up”. In other words - hurry up.

    “He/she wouldn’t get a wave at Dollymount” - I.e, not exactly a good looking person.

    “Marry a man with a short cough and long pockets” - I.e, marry a rich man who’s close to death.

    “He/she wouldn’t spend Christmas” - they’re stingy

    “Never mind the cat... I wouldn’t put the light out on a night like that” - bad weather outside.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,420 ✭✭✭✭sligojoek


    You wouldn't put a milk bottle out in that rain.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Stop moaning ffs


    What was the one when you were a kid where if you stick you tongue out and it’s black you’re lying

    Anyone remember?
