Irish Slang Quiz

About This Quiz

Ah, the charm of the Irish. They're a chipper bunch, our friends from across the water. They love the "craic" and suggest that you "use your noodle". You'd have a friend for life in the Irish - if only you could understand what the heck they were talking about. You've got your Roddy Doyles and your Mauve Binchys, your Samuel Becketts and your James Joyces. There's a poetic, lyrical nature to the Irish - they love their drink, they love their music, they love their food. They're a hedonistic bunch. And you can join them. If you could only follow what they're saying. Well, now you can. You can thank us later.

If you're engaging in a little "olaginin", what on earth are you doing?

You're smiling. Stop it.

You're singing your little heart out.

You're moaning.

You're engaging in a little "hows your father?" (having sex!)

If an Irish person suggests that you use your "noodle", to which body part are they referring?

Your mouth. And they're usually telling you to keep it shut.

Your feet. They probably smell like old cheese.

Your brain.

Your butt. Well, I say!

If '"she's peeled,' what's just happened?

That young lady appears to be taking off her clothes.

That delightful lass is absolutely pissed as a fart (drunk).

They're a miser. No way are they getting the drinks in.

Something just broke.

If someone says they're gonna "batter ye", is this a good thing?

Yes. It means they're going to give you a kiss.

No. They're not happy and are going to punch you really rather hard.

Yes. They're going to get you some fish and chips.

Yes. They're going to do you a favor.

Do you fancy a night out "on the lash"? Erm, I'm not sure. It sounds painful. What is it?

You're going out drinking.

You're using a credit card. You have no money.

It's a chain of bars in County Cork.

You're staying. You're not going out.

What do the Irish mean when they say, "it's biscuits to a bear"?

It means that the bear wants to eat you. Run.

It means that you look in the mirror too often. Stop it.

It's just another terms for a cookie.

That something's a waste of time.
