Houl on a minit and I'll give ye another one:

We were on the ferry coming from Scotland to Ireland and a wee lad and his parents came on board into the lounge area and he said, " Ach sure there's no sates here!" We got good milage out of that one!

How'saboutya oul han!
(how are you old friend)

Actually, I've heard "Wor da" and "Wor tea is ready" spoken by a Dunmurry resident. I've heard a few Lisburn people say it as well. Maybe they were immigrants from Dunmurry!

That oul dog is bread between a Half Dour & a Winde Shutter.

" She,s awaiting on !"

What about when you got dressed up and went out without a coat in the summer you were "going out in your figure"

Nornironisms

The tick man = Credit Draper
Big mineral = large lemonade
He nicked his *** = put out his cigarette
Donald

Howsabout, "Ach, I'm ready to go away in the head!.

And "I'm away to get me messages" (Do the shopping)

It's a brave day so it is.
I put my *** in the bucket & futted the bucket about.
Houl on a minute.

Parful crop of spuds.
Are yousens going to the dance.?
She"s the bee's knees.
Any more Taty Bread.?
The Lord

I haven’t seen anything here for which a Lisburnian would need an interpretation.
Donald: Why the *** for fag? Is that because of the US euphomism?

This gets into your blood and seeps through into the brain. I was talking to a very English woman friend tonight and we were discussing me going to New York by myself to see my daughter. I said to her "The only thing is but, burl me round 3 times and I don't know where I am". She thought I said "twirl me round" so I didnt have to explain!

I don't know if this was peculiar to my family or not but we had a BIG way of expressing things.
As in......put the BIG light on.
meaning the main light.
close the BIG door
meaning outside door.
Put your BIG coat on
meaning your top coat.

Maureen,

Sounds like we lived in the same house, looking back it makes you wonder where it all started...."Big" that is.
