People from cork saying 'D ye know' after every sentence why:confused:
It sounds terrible. I'm from Cork and I cringe when I hear it. I (imo) usually hear it from people who are both insecure in themselves and what they have to say and who are bad conversationalists in general.Quote:

It's a part of the English vernacular which has sadly crept into the Irish vocabulary.
I would have said 'at the minute' is more a northern thing? Am sure those from closer to there will swiftly disabuse me of the impression if it isn't! :D
I like it though, I have to say.
I think it originated with 'maithe cailin' but I could be wrong.Quote:

Pineapple Stu, Bald Student (I think), Aberdonian Stu and I once used yous, ye, yez and y'all in consecutive posts as the plural of you. Schumi cursed us all, either in a post or in person, I forget. Granted, I definitely used y'all just to keep the pattern going. :)Quote:
