They truly are lovely and so obviously head over heels with each other!!!!! Good on ya, Sir! You found a true prize in that woman!!!! You’ve been blessed, don’t blow it! 😉
One of the best parts was Amy trying to get Ashton to pronounce ara properly. Hahahaha! And then Amy trying to say "I'm like not sure," in an American accent!!! This was so much fun! I would terrific to see more of these type videos.
Off-topic: I was watching this and my husband was like, "hey it's that guy that messes with scammers with that other guy" so your husband has been recognized 😁
I love this video and it’s a great help to my boyfriend. I live in Dublin and he lives in Indiana and wants to move here. Sometimes he hasn’t the foggiest notion what I’m talking about and I have to basically translate common Irish phrases for him 😄
Great video! Lol my husband is from Newfoundland and he pronounces letters h, a, o totally different. Very similar to your accent. He'll say hello like Ello, hi like I, how like ow, hair like air. Where he's from they say whadda ya at when their asking what you're up to. 👍
A lot of people went out from my home county of Waterford to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, hence New Waterford, Nova Scotia and Waterford, Prince Edward Island.
I'm not irish but my grandma is and I've heard her say most of these didnt realised it was Irish I knew what most of these meant haha awesome video amy and Ashton!!
Hiyah Amy. Your channel has just been recommended to me and I'm delira and exira😁 You and your fella have now become my new favourite youtubers. You guys are great craic. Love your videos. They are so gas.. You've seen my Irish name. Up to the age of 14, I pronounced my name Seer-Sha. Then when I turned 14, I didn't feel it sounded grown up enough, so I told everyone that I wanted to be called Say-er-Sha. ? Then Saoirse Ronan became known to people and that was it. My name is now Say-er--Sha lol. My favourite word has to be Banjaxed.. .love that word.. Other Irish words are: Lashing down Stop codding me, stop that fecking codology, you fecking eejit Gobshite. How's she cutting.? Langers Yer wan is shifting yer man Jammy bastard. Yer fella will be telling you to 'Go way outa that', for fecks sake Slán,mo chara Éirineach
As a Dub, I laughed my arse off throughout this whole video! Thank you. Some of the words and phrases would probably change slightly and become a little more colourful with my working class Dublin accent but otherwise, spot on. It took my Brazilian wife years to get her head around the context of "yer man" and "yer wan" 😂😂
Golly, I love ya!!!!! Too funny since I grew up hearing these terms and accents from family in/from County Cork and County Tipperary!!!! OMG I miss that sound so very much - a brogue reminds me of “love”!!!!
I feel like I get most of these right But with different words 😂 "Yer man" is usually like "your mr" "Acting the maggot" I would use "acting like a muppet/idiot" 😂 Irish phrases are very close to English phrases 👏😂
I stumbled unto your channel after watching some traditional Irish music. I watched a few videos. You two are cute. I was wondering what part of Ireland you are from, then you said Mayo. UP MAYO! My Mother was from Mayo and I still have one Aunt living and probably 100 cousins. The last time I was back was in 2008. So what part of Mayo are you from? We are in Knockmore, Ballina. Some in Foxford, Calidashin, Lisanishka, castlebar. The cousins are starting to spread out a bit but the family farm is on Logh Conn in Knockmore.
Loved this - great video !! How about has he any frontage, in the boot, call the gards, the chipper, bog roll, breakfast roll, Croker, the flicks, came down with the last shower.......
Boyo, it's lashing out, chislear, codding ya, cluchie, deadly, dosser, floozie, gaff, having a gander, gawk/gawking, how's she cuttin, Jo maxi, knackered, manky.
A few phrases people in my region say and what they mean, delira and excira(delighted & excited), up to 90(unbelievably busy) , stop the lights(stop exaggerating), face like a beaten bear(annoyed), and real thick(really stupid)
I’ve watched enough “Father Ted” and “Ballykissangel” (and other similar shows) over the years to have heard a number of these terms before, but I never knew how mild the word “Feck” must be in Ireland. I mean, the BBC is a notoriously conservative entertainment medium, and I knew they allowed the word to be used, but I always thought it was considered quite a bit stronger, just not quite strong enough to get kicked off the BBC.
@@alisonsmith4801 - I have learned that since, but I’m pretty sure that I’ve heard that same term on other shows that were on the BBC. Which is why it surprised me. I actually first saw Father Ted on the local PBS station here in the US when I was a kid (mid 80s?) and I don’t think they knew what “Feck” meant either.
@@shubinternet British tv has something called a " Watershed" everything before 9pm ( 21.00 ) is for a younger audience after that it becomes more for adults, mainstream British tv is very liberal and honestly what is broadcast on TV here would never fly on US tv. Try looking up a tv show called " Naked Attraction " on Channel 4, it would never be shown on mainstream US television.
You referenced "The Quite Man" in the video. How does the movie play into the stereotype the Irish think of Americans of today? Honestly, I think the movie is what Americans think of what Ireland is like even today if you'd ask them!
howya be the irish version of howzit in hawai'i even though l be born and raised in massachusetts usa l use brilliant only l shorten it to just brill l also use fella and for a female l use dame and broad l has said he/she be a gas(he/she be fun) or it be a gas(it be fun)
Reestablish it in schools,gotta not let our generations be complacent to losing their identity. Our relationship to the Monarchy is another teaching, Northern Ireland and Scotland have the right to teach our generations that they're unique to have oldest spoken language in the Isles, and it's their lineage, their history. Before Rome's conquest, Galicica was spoken on the Isle
Yes. It’s a common surname here. Always find it weird that Americans use Irish surnames as first names like, Riley (Reilly), Ryan, Nolan, Kennedy, Quinn, Brady or Cassidy or Darcy, Lennon or Rafferty.
'Gas' - it might be hard to ignore the flatulent meaning! A phrase that does get said a fair bit is 'messages' - i.e. do the messages/go the messages, meaning to go shopping or run some errands. Yer man - it's used a lot in Ulster too.
Wait until he finds out that the pronunciation of the letter “h” can tell a person in Northern Ireland if their friend is Protestant or Catholic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
interesting thing -- seeing that h is the sound that this letter stands for! -- is that you find the same difference between France and Brittany as between England and Ireland: the French pronounce the letter h (spelled "hache" by all) as "ash", the Bretons say "hash"
@@midlifewoman4205 quite hard to explain, kind of a tribal thing and really only truly understood by us in the six counties/ The North/ Ulster/ Northern Ireland. Long story short one side pronounces the letter one way and the other side pronounces it the other way. Won't say which side says what because I think we'd like to keep that for ourselves 😂😂😂😂 and the air of mystery is quite fun! If you're like me and have a few "h's" in your name you might pronounce them both ways when spelling it, just to throw everyone off the scent of which tribe you might be from. I dunno, it's possibly to do with our education system being segregated (thankfully we are beginning to see even more integration) but actually let's be honest it's Northern Ireland - we don't really actually know! But we will come up with some legend to explain it 😂🙈
I am absolutely loving this series that you are doing! You two are brilliant! I come from Co. Donegal, but I live in the US now. It’s amazing how many US citizens don’t realize we have our own language! Please continue torturing him-hopefully with more Gaeilge words and phrases! 😂 His reaction to how we call “h” is a classic! I cannot understand why they do not pronounce the “h” in the name. I mean... it’s the sound that it makes! Have it in the name! 😂
I'm American, but my family came from Mayo early 1900's. Even with it being a couple generations now we still say some of these things. I grew up hearing "feckin Eejit" and saying "schtuff" instead of stuff a good chunk of the time.
It may be an east coast thing because I have heard and used ejit on occasion, it is kind of an older term but I still hear it, however effin is used all the time where I am from. oh and something funny like a movie could be called a real gas.
The words were probably passed on in the 1800 to 1900’s when England and Ireland were kind of ‘one’ and they were kind of ‘close’ (I’m using quotation as they were kind of one and depending on who you ask, some people would say they were closer than others) but yeah and also during the Ulster plantation so not sure weather they came from England or Ireland but different words were probably exchanged during these times leading them to be used in Ireland, England and now Northern Ireland which is even more of a mix.
I hear a lot of these phrases here in Canada from people who are likely 3rd or 4th generation Irish. I say 3rd or 4th because they have no hint of an Irish accent :) Have also heard some from watching British TV with Irish guests. Also from Seamus and Becky from the WWE :) BTW you two are adorable!
Not heard flutered before lol in Scotland we say blootered (means the same lol) 🤣 would love to do a side by side comparison of the Scots and Irish ie for ‘whats the craic’ Scots would say ‘hows is gawn’ although we do sometimes say ‘whits the crack’
I love this!!! My grandmother is either 1st or 2nd generation American. Her family used to live on Rasey Island. Not sure if it's still called that. I would love to learn more about the culture, supposedly my grandmother used to be able to do a jig. One day, I'll make it there, and other places of my heritage.
My mom's been in Canada for a while now, but every once in a while she'll start spouting things like "she being the cat's mother" or "as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike". Interestingly, she only brings out "ara" when she's mad at us 😅
One of my favourite ones is something I overheard in a shop yesterday: "yer woman is a wagon"! I've been in Ireland for 36 years but this one still cracks me up every time!
I'd love to see more of the American vs Irish if literally anything. So fascinating
My Irish mother in law uses the phrase, "In case of bicycles" 🤔 Also, she goes to the shop to get her messages.
Irish people put their groceries in the press.
Every Irish mammy over a certain age says they are going to the shops to get their messages,
My irish exchange mother used to speak Bananas for nearly anything.
Occasionally you see a couple that just makes you wish you were one of them. You guys are lovely. And I learnt a lot!
They truly are lovely and so obviously head over heels with each other!!!!! Good on ya, Sir! You found a true prize in that woman!!!! You’ve been blessed, don’t blow it! 😉
Her eyes are smiling 😃
Being Irish I was laughing my ass off at the "yer man" part 😂😂.. So true
One of the best parts was Amy trying to get Ashton to pronounce ara properly. Hahahaha! And then Amy trying to say "I'm like not sure," in an American accent!!! This was so much fun! I would terrific to see more of these type videos.
When Amy said Gas Craic at the end and Ash lost it, so did I, that was so funny 😂 love you guys ❤️
Off-topic: I was watching this and my husband was like, "hey it's that guy that messes with scammers with that other guy" so your husband has been recognized 😁
I love this video and it’s a great help to my boyfriend. I live in Dublin and he lives in Indiana and wants to move here. Sometimes he hasn’t the foggiest notion what I’m talking about and I have to basically translate common Irish phrases for him 😄
I would love to see a video of Amy teaching Ashton and Art how to Irish dance! Now THAT would be gas!
Just LOVE this channel and the energy between you two. Keep in going! ❤❤❤❤
This was HILARIOUS!! Definitely looking forward to Part 2.
Love these videos, I have Irish ancestors and this is so much fun. Thank you. More videos please.
“Bang on” can also mean that someone is a pretty cool, fun person.
I so love you two!
My favorite one is the jacks because the way Ashton said the John just made me laugh so much
Jack is Irish for John ...but also don't ye call a client of lady if the night a John?
😂 I loved this!!! Please do another one. I need new vocabulary and phrases.
Great video! Lol my husband is from Newfoundland and he pronounces letters h, a, o totally different. Very similar to your accent. He'll say hello like Ello, hi like I, how like ow, hair like air. Where he's from they say whadda ya at when their asking what you're up to. 👍
A lot of people went out from my home county of Waterford to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, hence New Waterford, Nova Scotia and Waterford, Prince Edward Island.
NFl is a mini Ireland !!
I'm not irish but my grandma is and I've heard her say most of these didnt realised it was Irish I knew what most of these meant haha awesome video amy and Ashton!!
Being Canadian I’ve actually heard a lotta these, which is surprisingly surprising
😄
Hiyah Amy. Your channel has just been recommended to me and I'm delira and exira😁 You and your fella have now become my new favourite youtubers. You guys are great craic. Love your videos. They are so gas.. You've seen my Irish name. Up to the age of 14, I pronounced my name Seer-Sha. Then when I turned 14, I didn't feel it sounded grown up enough, so I told everyone that I wanted to be called Say-er-Sha. ? Then Saoirse Ronan became known to people and that was it. My name is now Say-er--Sha lol. My favourite word has to be Banjaxed.. .love that word..
Other Irish words are:
Lashing down
Stop codding me, stop that fecking codology, you fecking eejit
Gobshite.
How's she cutting.?
Langers
Yer wan is shifting yer man
Jammy bastard.
Yer fella will be telling you to 'Go way outa that', for fecks sake
Slán,mo chara Éirineach
late finding ur videos but loving it lol in Armagh we would say "ur one"
This is so weird seeing Ashton not beating up scammers. I can't deal.
I love this! so funny! more of this! you two are so cute together as well
As a Dub, I laughed my arse off throughout this whole video! Thank you.
Some of the words and phrases would probably change slightly and become a little more colourful with my working class Dublin accent but otherwise, spot on.
It took my Brazilian wife years to get her head around the context of "yer man" and "yer wan" 😂😂
Bathrooms have so many names! Bathroom, restroom, lady/men's room, Jack, John, loo
pisser
I love this! It's so interesting and funny to see the difference in word meanings.
My family is from Waterford and many of them use the word gobshite. "Ahya feckin gobshite" just one way to use it in a sentence
Y'all are adorable.
Golly, I love ya!!!!! Too funny since I grew up hearing these terms and accents from family in/from County Cork and County Tipperary!!!! OMG I miss that sound so very much - a brogue reminds me of “love”!!!!
Very educational video... I will sure be remembering this when I make a trip to Ireland... Great work, keep it up...
I feel like I get most of these right
But with different words 😂
"Yer man" is usually like "your mr"
"Acting the maggot" I would use "acting like a muppet/idiot" 😂
Irish phrases are very close to English phrases 👏😂
i am now actually learning something! thank you! i went to Ireland before and i am missing the country now! aaaaaaaa
Fairplay to ya lad you got an keeper there
Some of these words I didn`t even think were Irish 😂
🤣 love this spot on
Love this and love you guys!! I will have to use some of these phrases next time I see my Irish friends!
I've heard people say, what's crackin'? Lol is that the same? Fun video!

Luv Amy’s accent . My Irish family do say grand a lot as well as others on this list
Please do a part 2 that was great
In Dublin the reply to Howard is jaysus howya
Aside from Fella, Craic, and Fair Play, the Black Stuff was what I got immediately. Guinness. Which for some, its pronounced as 'genius'.
Cheers.
Love you guys

I’m with Ashton. H, pronounced aych not HAYCH 🤣🤣🤣 we have a crossover on some of the sayings here in Yorkshire. I’m only avin yer on is one 😀

Father Ted was never on BBC, it was made and produced in England by Channel 4, a British TV Channel.

Get up the yard, outta that! ;)
Amazing video! ❤️
You should try him with some Norn Irn slag, try "Bout ye mucker" for starters.
working like 10men and a wee lad
Vanilla 😂😂😂 I love it
😂😂💚
Do the expressions in Ireland have the same meaning as in England?
What's the craic with that yolk on the thing
I just barely subscribed, and going through your videos. You are so cute!!!! Love your videos 👍😍♥️!!! You and Ashton are so damn cute together!!!,
"Eejit" is similar to the American "idjit", but "idjit" is derived from eejit.

Ara does seem to be short hand for all right?
H, #2, #3 #8 These alone are the reason I dont go thru drive throughs.
Her nose is so cute 🥰
im like 5 generation american irish i got most of. .....them
Amy I found out that my first name is Irish
Yes. It’s a common surname here. Always find it weird that Americans use Irish surnames as first names like, Riley (Reilly), Ryan, Nolan, Kennedy, Quinn, Brady or Cassidy or Darcy, Lennon or Rafferty.

Ara is kinda like saying are we’ll just kinda well idk how to explain it tho
Ara- a filler word. Can also be used as "alright or fine"
My brain: ✨ara ara 😩
I was in a pub one guy says you know your man who's married to your woman and everyone went yea yea and I was lost
How do they know if it’s petrol or diesel?
Your coddin usually be used in the Midlands s
Ps I am Irish
this vidio is gas craic
Is it possible "Yer man" is not a twist on "Your man". Perhaps it is a shortening of "Yonder man"?
Nope
I am not sure if my name is Irish or American 🇺🇸 my name is Valeria my last name is Abad😅
X❤
Yes or the pint of plane
🫶🏾👊🏾
Banjaxed/bolloxed..

I’m Russian and I love the Irish accent! Irish people seem to be on a whole different level of swearing. I love it!
high praise from a russian lol !
Indeed it was the rebelliousness spicing up the English language !
When "the black stuff" came up all I could think was "Ashton you're wearing a shirt from the company that makes it" haha.
I think you need to have a Scottish friend on and really confuse the bijaysus out of your husband.
Jaysus! 😄

“Up the road”
“Down the road”
“In the road”
“Out the road”
This was very educational and entertaining. You guys are my new Fantastic Duo. Amy keep ‘em coming! Much Love 💕
Lol I get some some "stick" here in Australia for saying "I'm grand!"
I loved this. You both are so well matched. Like 2 puzzle pieces that just fit. This was such a fun vid. Thanks Amy & Ashton.
Would love to see one the other way around where Ashton teaches you some strange American-isms!
I use 'fair play' and 'I'm grand' in England too :D
I also use both of these, as well as 'bang on' to mean 'exactly', either as in 'you're bang on' or 'this length is bang on 70cm'
The words were probably passed on in the 1800 to 1900’s when England and Ireland were kind of ‘one’ and they were kind of ‘close’ (I’m using quotation as they were kind of one and depending on who you ask, some people would say they were closer than others) but yeah and also during the Ulster plantation so not sure weather they came from England or Ireland but different words were probably exchanged during these times leading them to be used in Ireland, England and now Northern Ireland which is even more of a mix.
I hear a lot of these phrases here in Canada from people who are likely 3rd or 4th generation Irish. I say 3rd or 4th because they have no hint of an Irish accent :)
Have also heard some from watching British TV with Irish guests. Also from Seamus and Becky from the WWE :)
BTW you two are adorable!
There is no such letter as hhhaitch. Thank you! Great video guys. Loved it!
Not heard flutered before lol in Scotland we say blootered (means the same lol) 🤣 would love to do a side by side comparison of the Scots and Irish ie for ‘whats the craic’ Scots would say ‘hows is gawn’ although we do sometimes say ‘whits the crack’
I love this!!! My grandmother is either 1st or 2nd generation American. Her family used to live on Rasey Island. Not sure if it's still called that. I would love to learn more about the culture, supposedly my grandmother used to be able to do a jig. One day, I'll make it there, and other places of my heritage.

You should 100% get him to watch irish movies and do reviews on them (the snapper, war of the buttons, into the west, Michael collins)
One of my favourite ones is something I overheard in a shop yesterday: "yer woman is a wagon"! I've been in Ireland for 36 years but this one still cracks me up every time!
A wagon is a strong woman who will suck you in and blow you out in bubbles!
Oh yes, she’s a wagon! That’s hilarious. Makes no sense but so funny
