I talked to my friend Irish Dave, and he said that there are 5 Irish phrases that he thinks Americans should start using every day!
5: "Now we're sucking diesel." When things are going exceptionally well and you've found success, not by luck but by your own merit,
4: "Slainte" cheers / safe / good health a great toast when drinking
3: "Acting the maggot." Friend's messing around, being obnoxious? They're "acting the maggot."
2: "May the road rise up to meet you." Go n-éirí an bóthar leat (I have this on my business cards) May God remove obstacles in your journey through life.
1: "What's the craic?" Greetings like "Any craic?" and "How's the craic?" The most straightforward definition is fun or enjoyment, and it can substitute for "How are you?"
