Trying To Explain Irish Slang, Sayings & Phrases!

Trying To Explain Irish Slang, Sayings & Phrases! In this video, I thought I would give you a giggle and try to explain some Irish slang and sayings. In a recent video, I said the phrase "on the long finger", and you guys inspired me to create this video.
From phrases like "Yer man", "A lock in", "Riding", I hope you get a giggle.
Here is the article that I was reading from in the video: www.irishtimes.com/culture/up...
The movie mentioned is "The Snapper", and also "Father Ted".

Here in Texas we have the saying "That's a tall drink of water". That means a tall good looking man.

[@DaintyDiaries]

😂 love it

[@Poppy-]

Oh yes, I heard that once.

[@theguest3389]

I've always heard it refer to woman. I think they say it in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit!". How the hell I know this is beyond me!!! 😷😎😷

[@peggykelliher5698]

Momma would call Daddy her "long, tall drink of water."

[@EveCheerfully]

Haha! Somebody who thinks they’re a big deal is “all hat no cattle” in Texas. We call the cupboard for food storage the “pantry” and the cupboards for dishes “cabinets.” I think that the “junk drawer” with twine, scissors, random small tools, pens, coupons, odd size batteries goes by the same name everywhere.

[@amybriggs6586]

I could just imagine sitting and listening to you and your friends talking I'd probably only half of what your saying but I love all the words you use !!! 🥰

[@DaintyDiaries]

And we talk FAST in person 😂 thanks Amy

[@icemaidenxxxx]

Catherine my fellow Dub, I couldn’t BREATHE watching this and the tears were rolling down my face. You are HILARIOUS girl 🤣. I definitely think as Irish people we are inclined to not realise the slang we use is very confusing for non Irish, and I think what makes it worse is we talk fast too, so other nationalities haven’t a hope in hell of understanding what we’re going on about. Really enjoyed the video, can’t wait for the next ❤️

[@sandrataylor6507]

That was brilliant!!! I laughed and laughed. My Mum was from Sligo and she used to come up with some sayings that stopped us in our tracks as we had no idea what she was talking about. I remember her saying to my Dad,who was up in the loft ‘sure are you staying up there til you come down?’ 😂😂😂

[@carrie94]

I’m from Dublin too and I’m only now realising how confusing the way we speak must be for people outside Ireland 😂

[@DaintyDiaries]

😂😂😂😂 I thought we talked quite normal

[@glendacox6540]

Same here in US on accents. Every region has a different accent. Loved this topic! About you and your beautiful country so fascinating !

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw, glad you enjoyed it Glenda x

[@maryr94]

The term "messages" comes from the days in Ireland before people had phones. So if someone had a message for you, they would leave a message in the shop with the shop keeper. So when you went to get your groceries, you'd also be going to check your messages. 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Agh that’s good to know!!! ❤️

[@monicas2269]

They say "messages" in some parts of Scotland as well.

[@strawberry1025]

I'm a Dubliner too and I'm laughing here because the more you explain the convoluted way we think and speak the more I'm amazed anyone ever understand us. My brother's Dutch partner was bewildered living here for years because we rarely say what we mean eg; 'See you later' rarely means 'I'll see you later'. We often say yes when we mean no. I was very struck when I discovered that there is no complete word for 'No' in Irish. We have 'Nil' and Ni he' but at the beginning of some long winded explanation why we can't do something. The Dutch are very straight and he is only beginning, after twenty years, to understand our labyrinthine communications....lol

[@DaintyDiaries]

😂 so true, a lot of our words just mean the opposite band we can be VERY vague

[@aimeysdollandtoycollection9763]

haha I wonder sometimes when we were in Kerry what some were saying ( me being canadian living in Ireland 5 years, being around my irish man for 9 years haha) I tend to get use to it. but it's funny now and again to hear some slang.

[@strawberry1025]

@@aimeysdollandtoycollection9763 I completely understand why you found the Kerry accent hard to make out. Kerry people speak the fastest of all of us, next to Cork people. I stayed with my friend's very lovely family in Kerry when we both in university and could hardly make out what they were saying.

[@kurtcurtis2730]

Yeah no. In answer to a yes no question means no I understand the question but no

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

I'm from County Tyrone, Dungannon, N. I, and I was laughing all the way through this!! 😆 My Granny's toilet used to be an outhouse down on the bogland at the end of the yard, so we said we're going to the bog when we are going to the toilet. I live in England now and have grown out of the lovely sayings. We do say hot press. I revert back sometimes, but when I asked my English friend how her poorly husband was by asking 'how's himself?' she looked at me like I was mental! 'I'm going to get my messages', followed by, if questioned, 'I'm going to see a man about a dog!' was used frequently in my house.

[@marionandrews176]

I’m not Irish, but I grew up in an Irish neighborhood in New York and have been to Ireland several times. Found this video hysterical. I love the movie, The Snapper...too funny😂 My Irish friend also has some funny phrases like, “Bob’s your uncle” and “he/she looks like the back of the bus” (not nice, I know). First time I was in Ireland, I asked a taxi driver how long the ride is. His response was, “As long as you want it to be”.

[@carliem9494]

Oh those took me back. My dad slowly stopped using a lot of these phrases when he left Ireland as no one understood him, but he used to use them in the house when I was a kid. Then, when we visited his family, he would slide back in and it would take us a few days to ‘get our ear in’. He always said that ‘*going to the bog’ originated from when the toilet was a plank strung across a ditch cut in the bog (would be used communally) and once the ditch was full it would be covered in the peat dug from the next ditch. When we visited his mother, my granny, for many years her toilet was an earth closet at the back of the garden (so a modern type of bog as it wasn’t communal but had plank walls and a door - space for one person - although next door was the other side of the plank wall and they used to have chats each morning!). Also, and her water to cook, wash etc was collected every morning in two buckets from the communal hand pump in the road (hence the earth closet as there was no piped water in the house). My mother was horrified! I do find it fascinating though that eco houses now have a form of earth closet with their sawdust loos (as they say, there’s nothing new under the sun 😆) Thanks for the memories - hoping to get back to Ireland at some stage when all this madness is over, for a tour round with a friend, hopefully come back with a few new phrases too

[@loriar1027]

I use the phrase “run errands” when I go out when what I mean is I’m going shopping, because if I say shopping my husband knows I’m going to spend money. Lololol!

[@julibeswick-valentine3690]

Oh girleen, you had me in tears, it sounds so funny. I cant believe how I must sound. WIth my West Cork accent ( as in Culchy) using all of these sayings plus others like " he's one cute hoor" ( a sly conniving fella), "I will yea" - when asked to do something means No I wont be doing it, this is a big one in Cork. "I was haunted" means I was lucky. "Story,feen" is a greeting basically saying hello, any news. " He's a chancer" - he is pushing his luck, I could go on. I know visitors struggle with us and our descriptive way of talking but sure we cant help ourselves.

[@DaintyDiaries]

I love the "I will yea" because that is a solid no lol x

[@andiwagner2950]

As an English as a Second Language teacher, I loved this! I am constantly explaining what our strange phrases mean and why we say that. I would love a little more language and culture videos from you. Of course, your DIY content is fab. 🥰

[@TheLadyKatherine]

This was so fun to listen to, Catherine! "Smithereens" is a very common word to use around southern, middle Tennessee (USA, obviously). Had NO IDEA it was of Irish origin!!! Where I'm from, there's a lot of Irish heritage, so it makes sense why I know this word as if it were just a normal English word. :)

[@Blackgirl1965]

This video is the best! I’m Canadian but I have lived in South Wales for 42 years. I love the Irish and your accent. I understand all your sayings and can’t stop laughing 😂🤣😂🤣 Oh girl! I love ya!

That reminded me of “a Monet” from the movie “Clueless” When Cher says “oh, she’s a full on Monet” What’s a Monet? “It’s like a painting, from far away, it looks ok. But up close, it’s a big old mess”

[@TheSassy1962]

Etymology (eh-tim-OLOGY) is a scary looking thing, but it simply means studying the origin of a word and the historical development of its meaning........which you performed quite well in this video. I loved it! You should throw more of these into the mix every once in a while!!

[@13Shirleen]

This brought back so many memories of my mum, she was from Galway. You have cleared something up though, she'd say "Away oor that" and it didn't make sense (we knew it meant to MOVE), now I know it was "Get away out of that" it makes more sense! You saying 'come'ere to me' reminded me of her saying "listen Shirl" about a hundred times during a phone call, drove me mad! As if I could do anything else on the phone! Bless her and bless you, you made me smile today xxx

[@larag1764]

Over the past 30 years I’ve worked with men and women from many diff places in Ireland and I loved them all. Such wonderful outlook on life - work hard but always with a smile and they never held a grudge. I think some (older) Australian sayings have Irish roots given our shared heritage..... Dainty, I could listen to you talk all day 🥰 Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 xx

[@queencallipygos]

I had a "cheat sheet" for this - I'm in the US but I've had a friend in Cork since we were both twelve years old. :-) (She's even taught me some Irish, and another Irish speaker here in New York told me a couple years back that I speak Irish with a Cork accent.) The biggest "slang" thing I've ever said that caused problems comes from the fact that I grew up in one of the states from the "New England" region in the USA, and in that part of the country the name for a store that sells alcohol (I think you'd call it an off-license) is a "package store". For YEARS after I moved to New York, I would talk about "going to a package store" to get a bottle of wine or something and everyone would ask me "...a package store? You mean, like a post office?"

[@MCombs57]

You are such a precious, living doll! I really loved this video and you explaining the meanings, so much fun. One of my favorite words I like hearing you say is “but”. With your accent it comes out “boo-hut” to my ear. I smile every time. Another day brightener. Thanks Catherine!

I love all the different sayings. My mother's side of the family came from Ireland to America in the late 1600s and this explains some of the sayings that have survived through the years. Here in America, we have different accents and sayings from the different parts of the Country, as well. I am from the deep South so I have a heavy Southern accent. It's so interesting and funny to learn the slang and sayings from other places. Thank you for sharing!

So much to learn! I have wanted to visit Ireland for years- maybe some day ;) Fun fact - New Englanders - (mostly Massachusetts, as far as I know) - say "Wicked Awesome!" and "Wicked cool!" I lived in Cape Cod as a child and my very Christian parents did not allow us to say that 😂

[@barneysdad9193]

It's the same here in England. I grew up in London and ended up marrying a Scouser (from Liverpool for those that don't know)! My wife's accent is very mild as she was in the Fire Brigade control and in those days, they were trained to tone down broad accents for clarity on the radio. When we first went to see her family or were at family gatherings, I needed her to translate! So much slang!! Back jigger = alley, Ganzi = jumper, keks = trousers and loads more. That's what's fun about any country though, learning the differences!

oh my word, I am in stitches here, the more you are trying to explain things the more confusing it sounds. Dear love anyone over the water trying to make head or tail of it all. Here in Northern Ireland I have a hot press (an airing cupboard is considered a posh thing ) to keep all my linens and towels in (amongst other clutter ), and am considered a "culshie" because I don't live in a town or city. You have made my day as always, thankyou x

[@catherinehegarty5078]

I'm from Cork, now living in States. I say that phrase at work in the office ' Oh there's your friend' to colleagues, alot of times they don't know what I mean buying a 'round' was back in my time back in '80s too, everyone takes turns in buying drinks within their group ; knackered means tired - defo means agreeing with others - when I was in school, with friends admiring boys, we used to say 'Hows the Talent' Yer one is 'Chancing yer Arm up to yur Elbow' ; In the states the 'Hot Press' is the Linen Closet ' Going for the Messages' is originally from Belfast & Scotland back in the 16th Century, Scots who settled in Northern Ireland. then it filtered down to the rest of the country

[@KatWrangler]

My maiden name is Broderick. I know my father's, his Dad is Irish (he died in 1939). But, I do not know when they came over to the US. I would love to learn more about that side of our family. I've always wanted to visit Ireland. It is on my ultimate wish list.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Broderick, I know some. Tracing can be hard, but not impossible, I was able to get back to 1800’s on my dads side and it’s so interesting to see how we’re are still in the same area?

[@janetbyrne7765]

You can start with going to a genealogical library in your area with some names, birth dates, immigration dates, marriage dates and even census dates if you have them. You will be surprised at what has already been researched. If you can’t find a library look up the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in your area, which has a genealogy library at their building, most likely. They have loads of information and for no charge, as they are committed volunteers, and they will help you research your family history. It might not be something you can do during the pandemic, but you can keep it in mind for when your area opens back up. You can leave a message on their answering machine and they will be able to tell you when the library will be open and exactly where it is. Sometimes if you have a copy of an old family bible or a “book of the saints” or similar book your family might have treasured, you will find birthdates, baptisms, marriage and death dates recorded. That’s a good start right there.

[@JennyYLock]

[@heathers8826]

I love this! I've always been fascinated with the Irish language and the accents. Being Canadian, some words and sayings are used here too. Or perhaps I grew up in an Irish influenced area. Great video! But I especially loved the moments where you explained a phrase by using another Irish saying 🤣👏

Such a fun video!!! Please do more!! I'm in the US and there are a slight few of these we say, such as Wicked Bad or Wicked Good. But I never would've thought a hot press was a cupboard. So fun to learn all of these phrases!!! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️

this was so much fun to learn. I live in North Carolina and there are different accents just within the state in addition to every area has their own. I love hearing different accents. I have to tell you i watched Miss Scarlet and the Duke on PBS last night and one of the character's lines was "he told me to keep my gob shut!" I thought it was pretty ironic! Love watching your videos. :)

I’ve been wanting this video for a while!! Thanks for explaining😄 my mom always says, “no ones gonna notice on a galloping horse,” which means no one will notice an imperfection, like a snag or hole in your clothes or a mistake you’ve made on a project
