When in a pub or getting on a bus or any sort of situation really, We ask " is there anyone sitting there" when its obviuos that the chair/seat/stool or whatever has noone on it. I love it when someone asks me cos i just laugh at them. Wha Wha

Just tell them there was a statue there, but it moved!
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
Next time i'm up in Knock i'll try it

A lot of burglaries there?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
u goin on da hop!!! is that an english thing that is used here or uniquely irish?
Oh a unique Irish thing is definetly the belief that 'everyone loves ireland' like as if people the world over wake up every morning and are like oh we love that small 'neutral' country in the north atlantic.
It's not true. When you're getting on with people in the UK, it's grand, but if you ever have the slightest falling out with them, especially if they're English, they will instantly start laying into your Irishness. Makes my blood boil so it does!
Uniquely Irish, go on Peadar ya good thing.

Absoloutely not unique, they say that over here as well.
In ireland the dubs thought they would be inventive when they were just copying english cockney rhyming slang.
Theres another couple of stupid ones the dubs use too that i just cant remember at the moment.

Joe Baxi was the cockney rhyming slang, that's also used elsewhere in the UK up to recent times. For one example, it's used often in Irving Welsh's novels. Interesting to hear it's mutated into Jo Maxi over there since though, wonder if it's just normal evolution of these things, a mistake that spread, or maybe by contact with Irish people. One for Susie Dent I think.

there was an irish TV show for teens back in the day called Jo Maxi (on network 2).

I just presumed it was a mutation based on that show to make it our own...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Ehhh, previous page Stu!
Another one that just struck me, in parts of the country anyway, saying be instead of by?

How's your mot? Or how's your ball of snot?
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
That's surely one Pauro, not heard that anywhere outside of Dublin (for real I mean, as opposed to someone doing it in a comedy accent). Any other areas use it?
We've a very similar one down here, but it's lack (and occasionally bag of slack).
Am hearing a few odd Wexfordisms lately, and one in particular I never heard before now is term, meaning a great craic, we had some term last night. They all say it down there!
