That explains a lot! I recently went to ireland and was very confused by the term ‘your man’
This is brilliant! Fair play! (That’s another Irish slang for ya. It means good job, or well done) It’s all so true lol. Nice one
I can think of at least one you left out, it’s very important when out socialising.
DRINKLINK
This is a term for an ATM Cash Machine, taken from the name Allied Irish Bank gives their machines – BankLink.
Seeing as drinking is our national past-time it seems people most commonly go to the Banklink to get money to drink – hence Drinklink
Also whoever set up this page is a Gobshite, an Eejit and an Amadán, because they didn’t include those very commonly used words which all mean roughly the same thing – an idiot.
