My favourite saying as gaelige is "Dúirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite". It's on Spike Milligan's gravestone and it translates as "I told you I was sick"

[–]antonivs 0 points1 point ago

TIL Spike Milligan is dead. Fuck.

Being of Irish decent I can honesty say, thank god I'm not Italian

I prefer our wakes to anyone else's funerals. Happiest and saddest you can be all at the same time.

I hear this read by Miles O'Brien from Star Trek.

Being Irish, this is really quite accurate, at least around the people that I know. We have a wondrous black sense of humour. A favourite quote is "It'll be grand". It always is.

A wee cuppa tea and it'll be grand.

[–]Youscurvydawg 1 point2 points ago

Ah sure, what's the worst that could happen?!

I feel a bit offended. And I'm pretty sure it's because you're implying an Irish person could write something that unfunny.

[–]antonivs 1 point2 points ago

You must be Scottish.
