I got followers, I couldn’t believe it.” The Facebook page now has over 760,000 followers, and the audience continues to grow.

The people and culture make it unique,” she said. “Irish people don’t take life too seriously and have a way of looking at the funny side of things, which is why we are generally liked all over the world.”

I was also curious about what Katie loves most and least about Ireland. “People, music, culture and Guinness are some of our favorite things about Ireland,” she shared, and even though she’s a foreigner, she can agree with all of the answers!

“What we hate the most is probably the cost of living in 2022!” Katie shared.

“Visit Ireland at least once in your life. Meanwhile in Ireland For Irish humor at its best! ‘ added Katie.

Unfortunately, I haven’t visited Ireland myself yet, but after a few friends from Ireland visiting recently and hearing how beautiful Ireland is, Ireland is certainly at the top of my “must see” list. But one thing they made clear to me was that in Ireland I would have trouble understanding someone and would often make a fool of myself by using the wrong words and phrases. That’s it. (Ask to drive home when you really should) liftApparently ‘ride’ means something completely different in Ireland…) This was not a complete surprise to me as I have to see delhi girls Subtitling and stuff can get you lost pretty quickly, but I had no idea how many unique phrases and slang the Irish use.

To help pandas learn some words and phrases they might come across in Ireland, I consulted this list From Keith O’Hara of Irish Road Trip. One thing Keith often points out in his everyday speech is “minus craic.” He explains it to mean “a situation or person that is not enjoyable.”For example, “I called yesterday and he was talking about a new tractor for an hour. It was a minuscrake.” is writing Unless I can decipher the meaning from the context, it’s certainly something I wouldn’t have known.

Apparently, in Ireland, “act the maggot” means messing around or doing something you shouldn’t. “That young lad came here last night and pretended to be a maggot.” This is the example Keith used to explain. Another thing I absolutely have to explain is the “year of the donkey”. “‘Year of the Donkey’ is used to describe the passage of long periods of time,” writes Keith. “I often hear this used when describing how long it’s been since you met someone or how long it’s been since you did something. For example, ‘I never met Tony in my donkey days. ”

One of the expressions a friend recently explained to me, having never been to Ireland, was “yer man.” “I often hear people use this when describing someone they don’t like, but it can also be used when you don’t know someone’s name,” Keith explained. I was told that one way to translate to is to say “that guy” instead if you’re referring to someone you don’t really know.

Another Irish word I learned recently is ‘Kalchi’. The phrase is used to describe someone living in a remote part of the island, but to a person from Dublin it can also be used to someone outside of Dublin. It was full of squatters,” writes Keith. There are also some Irish-specific words you’ll want to know how to use if you want to insult someone in Ireland. Some of the tamed insults that Keith points out are goons, gobshites, ezits (resembling idiots), pox (annoying people), and dope (stupid people). A friend from Ireland also told me about the phrase “scarlet fer yer ma” or “scarlet fer yer ma fer havin’ ye”. Essentially, this translates to “how embarrassing for you.” Or you did something so embarrassing that your mother should be embarrassed (or make her blush) just to have you.
