"You'd be doing me a solid." "It was savage" It used to be deadly, then it was epic, the worst was when it was absolutely fantastic, now everything's savage.
Not forgetting "rapid", and a particularly strange one I remember at one point was "laser" (might have been a Cork one)
I remember rapid but I don't think laser caught on in Dublin. Been watching a few crime docs recently and one phrase that annoys me that often pops up is "he has always protested his innocence". As if it is some sort of defence. Don't most criminals protest their innocence? What's the alternative? Confess and go to or stay in prison.
Haha, I think that is actually for the purposes of protecting the makers of the documentary as opposed to lending any credence to the criminal.
Reminds me of a time a prominent defence solicitor in Dublin died suddenly (in his office as it happens, the poor fcker). The next day in court, they were paying tributes to him before the judge. Some gouger waiting for his case to be heard was watching all these different barristers and solicitors standing up and saying what a good guy he was and so he felt the need to stand up and say "I'd just like to say, on behalf of all de criminals...."
"Unprecendentant times" Covid, weather, Ukraine war, It's becoming a popular phrase. It's soon won't be "unprecendentant"
Maybe it's a Dublin thing but I've always noticed this I'm going on a stag's / hen's Stag and Hen for me.
Shoot. Context: When a player (normally a centre half) with no ability to shoot has the ball anywhere past the half way line. Makes me want to die every other week in the ground.
"If Michael Collins hadn't of died" He'd be 131 years old, is the correct ending to that sentence. Given he was doing things during the civil war that not long before nobody would of expected of him, says anybody claiming they know what his thoughts would be on events today or events any significant portion of time after his death, are talking bollocks.
