How To Speak Irish-Like

Hellllloooooo!
I got seriously bored, so here is a vocabulary to all things Irish!

(I am very, very bored)

~~~
Grand: I'm okay, as in, "How are you?" "Grand, and yourself?"
Grand also means €/$/£1000

Well: Hello/Hi.
"Well lads, how're you going?"

How's she cuttin'?: How're you going, how's life.
"How's she cuttin'?" "Ah, she's cuttin' grand."

Michael Flatley: Famous Irish riverdancer. You'd hear of him often :3

Riverdance: Irish dancing, basically. But it's a huge show thingy. They go touring and such.

Good on ya/good man yourself: Well done. Even if you're saying it to a woman :P
"Ah, good man yourself."

Ah, sure: Oh well, like YOLO for Irish people:3

Old one/yer one: Pronounced 'Ow-ald wan'. Means woman/mother.

The black stuff: Guinness, aka beer.
"Gimme a pint of the black stuff, will ya?"

Ah now: Ah, come on.
"Four pages of homework for tomorrow!"
"Ah now, that's not fair."

Bressie: He's Bressie from Mullingar. He sings.

Niall Horan: . . . Do I need to say anything?
~~~

And I can't think of any more. But, yeah. Tadaaaaa! *winces*

If you need me to translate an Irish saying into, uhm, better English, leave it in the comments 'CAUSE I'M STILL BORED XD
