Irish Accents - They're great aren't they

[willie wacker]

I struggle to understand the accent and I'm only from across the pond!

The biggest language differences Ive noticed are:

1: You're grand
This is usually meant as yes to a question or alternatively a kind way of saying something is okay or alright.
Example: You fill up at a petrol station and only have a €20 note so you're desperately digging around at the till trying to find the 1 or 2 cent and the cashier says 'You're grand'.
*Thus meaning we arent cunts so don't worry about it.*
THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE GRAND IN THE LITERAL SENSE!

2: Good crack/For the crack
You guys talk about crack alot!!!
For a while I thought this meant you were all a bunch of crack heads hitting the pipe and it was just socially acceptable to discuss it in public. Then someone attempted to explain it to me but I still have no idea what I means....

3: Deadly
When Irish people say something is deadly that usually means that it is great/awesome, it does not mean it is going to kill you...

Im sure I can think of a few more but those stick out to me as a few obvious weird differences.....

For a while I thought you were all drug using, scaredy cats who had feelings of grandiose.....

Now I love this country!

Crack is spelt Craic
