****E I SPELLED IRISH WRONG........Ok Im in Ireland and we Irish can sometimes seem like we are speaking in a foreign language when it is in fact english.

Observe :

"We had mighty craic last night"
"craic" is pronounced crack and this does not mean we were all out of our minds last nght..it means we were having a great time.

Also "i will yeah" more than likely means "no".

"I will in me hole" means "i won't".


See this site for a full run down on our slang...

    Ahaha... as a Dub lass meself I find this gas.
    Here's a few more for people to guess what they mean:
    "She was wearin' the face off him last night"
    "Don't give out to him! He's only a wee chizler!"
    "I was scarlet when I got caught mitchin'"
    "That show with yer man and yer wan is bleedin' gas!"
