    My dad is stoic when he loses on the horses.

    “Not a bad horse. Took ten horses to beat him”.

    In my younger days having given my boyfriend a lovebite. Overheard his buddy say "she could eat an apple through a tennis racket". No regrets.

    Something/someone small = "not the size of a good shyte"

    A short person = "not the size of a big dog sitting"

    A nervous person = "shaking like a sh*tting dog"

    Someone with big teeth = "could chew a turnip through a letterbox", "could eat an apple through a tennis racket"

    Just to clarify. I don't have big teeth.

    Not one of these are nice, in fact they are the exact opposite. What a depressing place.

    Make your mind up ="shyte or get off the pot"

    Stingy ="tight as a duck's arse underwater" or "tight as a camel's hole in a sandstorm".

    For a stubborn person.

    They'd decline a box of matches and carry on to rub sticks.

    Wise words of wisdom from my dad after I puked from too many pints, aged 19.

    My father used to say that after farting.

    After watching the behaviour of a customer in a pub a few years ago I decided to bar him the next night he came in. After 10 minutes of pleading and begging he came up with this gem.

    "If St. Peter is anything like you, heaven is going to be a lonely place for me."

    Before he left he left me with another one.

    "Ya fúckin príck."

    An old phrase for diarrhoea - the hurry out and the delay abroad .
    You'll pay dearly for that - that'll be the rock you'll perish on .

    "There's no pockets in a shroud".

    Meaning we can't take our money with us when we die. A way of saying live now/don't be worried about money.

    Always arrive at the party with one arm longer than the other...
