[–]noonelikesrejection 0 points1 point ago

You're right, it is a characteristic of Hiberno-English because the Irish language has no word for yes.

Stephen Fry on Irish. by AncillaryCorollaryin linguistics

At 4.00, the kids are singing the words 'Go away, and don't come back', just before Stephen Fry applauds them.

I find that amusing.

I've had those, as children we used to pick wild strawberries from the hedgerows in my granddad's farm. They were delicious.

He's Dan Murphy, and he's cooler than you. by garbscarbsin videos

I think he's actually saying his name is Darragh (pronounced Dara) Murphy. I'm guessing the subtitles were added in by someone else.

Hogan thanks Household Charge registrants for ‘genuine patriotism’ by Dara17in ireland

[–]noonelikesrejection 2 points3 points ago

“I can certainly tell you that from our point of view, advisors advised government,” he said. “Government made a decision as to how this should operate and we just implemented the IT. Everything else I suppose is an ecumenical matter.”

An ecumenical matter, seriously?

Question: What's the word for it? (in languages other than English) by peteraitchin linguistics

[–]noonelikesrejection 0 points1 point ago

Oh yeah I know, that's why I said that it's not exactly the same. I just meant that it's used a lot with the idea of 'a thing the name of which I cannot remember'.

Not the exact same, but I've found that people in France also say truc a lot in this context.

/r/Ireland, I need to tell some dudes about living in Ireland for Paddies day, can you help me out? by PotatoMusicBingein ireland

[–]noonelikesrejection 0 points1 point ago

If they're unhappy with a meal in a restaurant, for example, they might let on that it's just to their liking and later complain about it to their family or friends, or they may complain about it there and then to their family or friends, but when the waiter/waitress comes around asking if everything is alright, they'll give an emphatic "yep! fine!"

That is so true. My dad got food poisoning before as he didn't want to bother the restaurant letting them know his fish was undercooked.
