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
