  3. Sarcasm and hyperbole is almost completely unknown to the Irish people. Take everything said to you 110% literally.

  4. Well obviously when the weather is bad the roads get taken in so you need to plan around that

  5. In Ireland, if you’re talking in the future tense the season after Winter is called Spring, but if you’re talking in the past tense it’s called Sprang. This comes from the Irish for this season which is Is amadán thú

  6. Every household item has a shop dedicated to it, kettle shop, soap shop, toilet paper can be found in the paper shop, but writing paper is found in the stationary paper shop

  7. Newcomers must in all cases stand in the ‘front row’ when using a trough in Men’s toilets. Don’t fret – stray micturition is a time honoured sign of respect on the Emerald Isle.

  8. When someone asks “what’s the crack (spelled: craic)?” they are not asking for drugs!

  9. The stunning beaches of Athlone. Vastly underrated.

  10. On a serious note, expect the tv license man! Mine was up in the start of April and I didn’t have the money to pay all at once and since I’ve had them at my door weekly while I’m at work dropping in letters 🫤

  11. Back in my day, we would tell them about the pocket fish.

  12. The three motherway lanes. One for cars. (Usually quite empty. The lane for horse and carts (quite busy) . And the lane for Guinness lorries (absolutely flat out).

    Had an American boy convinced this was real, back in the xbox 360 daya.
