Top of the list for us people would be "ag caitheamh clochanna leis na Cabhánaigh".

So, who are we throwing stones at?

The Caaaaavan lads. Popular sport in North Meath (back in another millennium when Cavan supporters would be passing through on their way to/from Croke Park).

Sorry, AZ - I wasn't clear - that's the word "cur" in the gaeilge.

poundies is mashed spuds in donegal.

we also use the phrase "damn a hate" to say you've had nothing to do when asked what's the crack. it has a double meaning. the obvious one being that having nothing to do is a hateful thing and you're not that happy about it. the second meaning is that life has not been that interesting for you of late, nothing exciting happening, but you're relaxed and not that bothered about this. few damn a hates are said in a rueful way, most are said in a relaxed way. damn a hate... always thought it was a great name for a band. that and molten rock... \m/
