Irish Sayings, Happy St Patricks Day!

Recommended Posts

Irish Saint Patrick's Day Toasts -
Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.
'Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!'
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

~
to someone who committed some small fault
'Tis only a stepmother would blame you.’

of a tall, large woman
That's a fine doorful of a woman.

of a gossiper
She has a tongue that would clip a hedge.

on trying to change a stubborn person's mind
You might as well be whistling jigs to a milestone.

of very bad music
Aw, that's the tune the old cow died of.

of one who overstays their welcome
If that man went to a wedding, he'd stay for the christening.

of a talkative person
That man would talk the teeth out of a saw.

of a clever thief
He'd steal the sugar out of your punch.

in praise of strong whiskey
I felt it like a torchlight procession going down my throat.

of bad aim in shooting
He wouldn't hit a hole in a ladder.

of an unfortunate one
He is always in the field when luck is on the road.

of very wet weather
It's a fine day for young ducks.

of someone who always plans carefully
If he's not fishing he's mending his nets.

An Irish Pub Joke...
An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman go into a pub. Each orders a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and land-- one, two, three-- in each of the pints.
The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another... the Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.

The Irishman reaches in to the glass, grabs the fly between his fingers and shakes him as hard as he can, shouting 'Spit it out, ya bloody bastard! Spit it out!'

~May those that love us, love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

Here's to being single...
Drinking doubles...
And seeing triple!

"The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another... the Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow." After quaffing the Englishman's pint with glee!

Happy Paddies day Ann.

How in the hell did I know you would pick up on that one???

LOL, I love you man.!!!

Being a shot of Scotch and mostly Irish, maybe I come and tour the place sometime.

and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be.

In Ireland, there is a different name for it. A day of drunken trouble-making is not called St.Patricks day. It's called Monday. ;)

At the MB reunion party last Saturday night, the band was making leprecaun jokes. So, after some careful preparation using Muff Punch, the Irish contingent, led by Slippy, lined up and mooned the band. :D

An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "what'll you have?"
The man says, "Give me three pints of Guinness please."
So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they're gone. He then orders three more.
The bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one."
The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we're drinking together.
The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition.
Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more.
The bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and I'd just like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died."
The man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine----I just quit drinking."

Patrick and Murphy out fishing and the motor packed in on the boat, Patrick says to Murphy what are we going to do now? Murphy say we'll just have to wait for help. After two days they are 40 miles from the coast and come across a bottle, Patrick opens the bottle and out pops a genie who grants them one wish - quick as a flash Patrick says, " Turn the sea into Guinness!" and of course the sea is black with Guinness - Murphy says, " You stupid fool, now we'll have to piss in the boat!"

Now everybody's died
so until out tears are dried
we'll drink and drink and drink and drink
and then we'll drink some more
we'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light
then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up
and then go drinking once again
it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Funny, I always thought that it was sleping triple?:P

May the road rise to meet you
and the wind be at your back
May the rain fall soflty on your fields
and the sun warmly on your face
And may God keep you in his hands
until we meet again

(took me too long for that one, I had to keep running to my hall to read the parts that I for got"

I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle
