Sayings only the Irish use

"If ye knocked that pair of laitchekoes together, ye wouldn't get one half-decent eejit for your troubles."

[An Gaeilgoir]

As thick as custard..
Christ on a bike..
As daft as a hay'penny watch

A hoor for the dhrink
Shockin fond o' porther

I was talking to a fella yesterday evening and he came out with a classic saying I hadn't heard in years.
"Die dog or shite the license" - more or less a do-or-die situation. Does anyone know where this term came from, surely there must be a story behind it. A quick google search throws up a reference to it in Brendan Behan's Borstal Boy, but no explanation or etymology for it.

[Knock Yer Mucker In]

Knock yer mucker in 
What about ye
Daft as a brush
Long road wheres theres no turning
Wee daftie (in the interest of cross community)

Here's one my mother used to say when she was at the end of her tether - "I'm like a hearn (sp?) woman"?

Hearn woman / Heron women ? Anyone come across that or know where it comes from?

edit: Actually now that i think about it, it might be 'Herring woman'.
