Ha ha ha I'm after seeing a man about a dog means he was doing a bit of business or mind your own business in other words he's not prepared to tell you were he was.
One for yourself and one for yer man means, buy yourself a drink on me "your man" probably referred to whoever was working with you.
but it takes a lot of Eejits to create a village loved your blog! Your slang list would have came in handy all those years I was with a guy from Londonderry..especially after he had had a few pints of the "genius"...couldn't get a word of it. Cheers!
But who is Ya Man? Can you clarify this for me?? I lived in Kilkenny for a while, married an irishman, and still have no idea WHO that is..im afta seeing ya man about a dog?? When i was barmaiding in belfast.."One for yourself love and one for ya man".....WHO is ya man?
I agree I know what you mean,I keep meeting Irish groups along with people from other countries, If we are in a pub or restaurant you can see the groups breaking off from each other, I have always found it amusing that you can have 5 Irish people all talking together at the same time yet we all know where the conversation is and what's going on, I have come to believe it is an Irish thing, We usually don't get offended when everyone is talking at once, We all seem to get everything everyone is saying, It still cracks me up though and I love those days/nights when it's a bunch of paddy's and the non paddy's just look on in amusement, Hope you're well, I have read and enjoyed your blogs.
Good aul Irish slang! I traveled for a while with a group of non-Irish and they had no problem understanding me at all. Then one evening we met some other Irish and went for dinner and the non-paddies hadn't a clue what we were talking about!
Tears in their eyes..... They were exhausted after a long walk and probably not too happy at me sticking a camera in their faces, They are very happy little girls.
The world needs more Magda's. How encouraging to read this story of Magda. She seems as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Happy travels!
