Soon you'll be able to understand sentences like this! Can you believe how simple it is?! No?! Well you'd better try it then, because it’s really simple. So simple in fact, a Carryduff hairdresser could learn it!
These are just a few words used in Norn Iron to indicate that someone is drunk or in the process of getting drunk. Bladdered, Pole-Axed, Blitzed, Shattered, Wracked, Pished, Steamin, Banjaxed, Blootered.
If someone from Norn Iron is confused or they don’t know what to do next they may say to you, “I don’t know if I need a shite or a haircut”
If they are hungry they may say, “ My stomach thinks my throat is cut”
When someone from Norn Iron greets you with “What about yah or bout yah” they are actually asking “How are you today.”
If you are in the company of a female and you hear them say she has a “face on her like a Lurgan spade,” please don’t take this as a compliment of your companions good looks.
Finally for the day, if you ask someone how their day was or how their dinner tasted and the reply “ Stickin Out” this means nothing more than they were good. So remember this one if you are asked a question and your reply is positive.
Hopefully when this blog is finished you will fit right in on your visit to Norn Iron if not just “wind down your neck.”
