Crap Limerick People Say

[curveitlikecarter]

i live in scotland and they say most of these phrases too, makes me feel at home:) i miss ireland:(

[B8BYD33]

Limerick's slang is very similar ta Cork's

[mshunnibunni321]

toliet wouldnt even take her out! gas!!

[TheBanner1995]

Why did they get a Clare girl to do a terrible Limerick accent?!!!!!! Stupid

[daftrucker10]

that blonde one from clare

[MyDancer97]

So true :D

[DavidSheehanGCL10]

Thats f**king brilliant but you left out "I'll bait ya within an inch of your life"!!! Plz add that in and also " I was mort"!!! :)

[glenobrien2008]

thats Limerick citaaay

[thewaronterror]

Brilliant.

[thewaronterror]

Well done. Can't believe you left out "steamer". And "pure spa".

[bannaman2012]

handicaps

[charliechaplan88]

It's a brill video and accurate in the 2 mins they had! Both are from limerick, sure the girl is Michelle McMahon off spin south west the radio station based in limerick! Obviously she's not gonna have a big thick limerick accent on her!!

[blackwings92]

mort anyway im not able for me one weak!

[johnnyjod]

Goway ye gouwels we don't even burn ear like that sham

[rathcola]

*being I mean!!

[rathcola]

No mention of tackies or something bring "FAIR funny!"

[xxciam530xx]

Dont mind him love he's only a bollox ;) tots like ... thats limerick cittayyy :P

[MakeupMyMind279]

Nearly died when the girl was on the phone in the bathroom in the club and she said on the phone "Hang on there is someone crying next door" *Shouting to crying girl*... "Don't mind him love he's only a bollox!!" xD

[iTzGr1mReaper]

That's Limerick citaaay and if you don't like it fuck off to Cork!

[NoLimitPromotions]

As a business thats based in Limerick, all I can say is well done for effort. People who say theyre ashamed of Limerick its better than dublin anyday

[shamnet1]

Never be ashamed of where ya live. Damn it. Can't be worse than cork.lol

[patrickbarrett19]

Ashamed to live in Limerick.

[ajjs02]

Well oil beef ucked!!!!

[shamnet1]

Love it, many of the slang used here we had where I grew up..

[maxatron101]

This is not what Limerick people are like. Omg this is shit.

[drummaDM10]

That sounds exactly like the one of the rubberbandits

[flairnatureboywoo]

I seen a better head on a pint of Guiness.

[Daftwizz]

You could make any saying up I haven't heard some of those comparisons before they're real easy to make up also young people have merged Irish/American slang into something still Irish just more American phrases. A lot of people say guys instead of lads sometimes and tons more

[gigtown]

Hit count says it all. A huge success. Well done to everyone involved. This vid was made at the perfect time. Ye could have spent weeks compiling Limerickisms but you'd get nowhere near the response later in the year. Congrats.

[khualyaang]

@gigtown 50,000 Flip-It TV fans CAN be wrong. Try looking up the argumentum ad populum fallacy.

[hueyk]

Most of these expression could be heard anywhere in the country. The stuff that is unique to Limerick is good.

[abtran2010]

ur man does a good job...the girl is terrible...one of those too posh to push types id say

[Arthur3835]

I've lived in Limerick all my life and i can tell you that both accents in this Video are genuine Limerick accents. Ok theres loads of expressions like "tackies" , "give you a boot in the forehead","C'mere i want ya" that are not in it. But then again theres only so much you can fit into a short Video. Well done lads I love it.

[paddypride]

I've come to the conclusion that Cork and Limerick accents and slang are the exact same!

[Arthur3835]

@paddypride Very alike except the Limerick accent tends to be more nasal and the Cork one is sing songy!!! That said the slang words are similar. Which is to be expected as they are neighbouring counties.

[fionaclancy]

My favourite is the third sigh with the hand gesture!!!

[jenni1443]

''I'm not going to the icon... I'm in the icon'' LOL

[shaneserrano]

Also it was very intentional by everyone involved in this video to use sayings and phrases generic to all Limerick people, not just to those of particular socio economic backgrounds. There are also many variations of the Limerick accent, from the thick working class to a clear well pronounced upper middle class accent. Accents both covered in this video.

[Arthur3835]

@shaneserrano Well said Shane! I think the girls accent is more of a middle class Limerick accent. Kind of accent you would hear on the bus out to UL while the lads accent would be typical Limerick. Won't use the word scumbag or scobie as I know plently of people (including myself!!) who would sound like these but are actually fairly nice down to earth people. Btw did you direct some Rubberbandits videos.

[shaneserrano]

@Arthur3835 Thanks, and yup, I have worked with the lads on a few different things.

[MrMalley666]

@shaneserrano go back to england with ur "classes" of people

[shaneserrano]

@MrMalley666 England?

[shaneserrano]

I think everyone's taking this a bit serious, it's just the Internet and YouTube. Of course it's not original, it is obviously our own colloquial twist on a current YouTube trend. It was just a bit of fun. Obviously all Limerick sayings couldn't be included in 2mins, there's plenty of material for a second video.

[TheKala321]

cant fucking understand half of whats said :P

[ShaneAcoustique]

This video should have been hilarious, Limerick has better characters than anywhere else in Ireland. Your one in the video is useless, none of that is the 'shite Limerick girls say'. Jeeeesus, walk down William Street any day of the week, stop off by the Golden Grill, and set up a fuckin microphone - job done

[flacidtool]

Seriously lads.....fuck off

[rhartigan78]

Poor effort. At least get some one from Limerick.... Ye haaandicaps

[flipittv]

@rhartigan78 everyone in the video is from Limerick.

[TheBanner1995]

@flipittv  Liieeeeeeeeeeeessssss!!!!

[robynfentyfan]

I dunno bout ye lads but i thought this was hilarious! I'm Weak! (Thats one ye forgot) haha.. Its Pure True Tho!

[cianjoseph]

fucking limerick people had to ruin a good thing didnt they.... wankers

[carolinetfitz]

@cianjoseph F**k u :D

[jasirw]

@cianjoseph Says someone with two first names....

[jointz666]

Aboy da kid! Well that's accurate, not sure about the rest. The girl sounds like she is from Cork. And I've never heard the phrase "totes" this side of the Pale.

[carolinetfitz]

@jointz666 ive heard it a few times i think its only the girls from castletroy that say that

[handbag5000]

@TheArdScoilRis so is 'Ard Scoil Is Gaaaay' :)

[psypants]

So, they don't have a good word to say about anyone!?

[carolinetfitz]

@psypants re-watch that when he said i would ya thats a good thing. . . sort of. . . .good for the guy not for the girl the guy looks like a slapped arse

[melikeamuffin]

"Of course I love ya! I wanna buy you chips don't I?" :D lol

[superbioguy]

I do say a lot of those but to be fair the accent on yer wan is horrible.

[jaderyan07]

This is terrible............

[sarahjanekennedy1991]

it really could have been a lot better...the girl is better than the guy!!! missed out on loads of stuff more like a dublin one to be honest!!

[isawapeach]

Would yaaaa :D

[SarsIncorporated]

it's actually better than "Shite Irish Girls Say" and "Shite Irish Lads Say", I think totes is more a Dublin thing though. No "gimme a fag'll yuh?" and "m'ere and I want cha"? lol.

[lazyguitarist1]

My all time favorite Limerickism: "will you give us a fag il uh?" __ "i will if you gimme the makings" :[)

[senakah]

hahaha 'i wouldn't ride her into battle'..! :) heres one for next time " I would'nt fuck her through a window"

[theclonsyo]

Feel sorry for people whose lives are actually like this!

[obnoxiousxleprechaun]

@theclonsyo I feel sorry for me too.

[theclonsyo]

@obnoxiousxleprechaun :(

[carolinetfitz]

@theclonsyo so every limerick person lol id say ive used every one of those saying at least once in my life lolz

[theclonsyo]

This is pathetic. Really, really sad.

[domzzy110]

She has a face like a melted welly :L :L :L

[obnoxiousxleprechaun]

This is..more true than THE BABY JESUS ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

[GrittyMcCheese]

Hah,,, barry murphy bouncing??

[cob8029]

Oh god:)

[Bigspoon021092]

is it just me or does he sound d very same as ur man from RubberBandits.. could it be him ?? 1:59

[lazyguitarist1]

@Bigspoon021092 It isnt.

[themerman2000]

useless pile of shit.. take it down ffs.. limerick's reputation is already bad enough without adding this shit to it..

[mcjmetroid]

@themerman2000

Get a sense of humor you gowl :D

[obnoxiousxleprechaun]

@themerman2000 Build a bridge, get over it.

[lazyguitarist1]

@obnoxiousxleprechaun hmm.. thats more American than Limerick really... :p

[DEACONFROST11]

Mental retardation at it's finest

[khualyaang]

Why do people in this city still insist on trying to scale the summit already reached years ago by The Shannabooley Massive? As lame as this 'scobe-parody' trend is; anything that anyone that has caught onto this bandwagon like this video or The Rubberbandits can ever hope to say about the scumbags in this city has already been said with much sharper satire, humour and intellect by the Shannabooley lads..

[fugyoutoo]

@khualyaang Exactly! Tho I think some of the gowls here belive the Rubberbandits are from dublin or something. But this vid is just a rip off of a lame rip off of an old theme Shit Girlfriends Say, etc with a 2 Euro shop version of Rubber bandits humor.

[Hakiblack]

.. a face like a bull dog licking piss off a nettle. Class...

[fugyoutoo]

Crap being the oprative word. Its just a langer and a gowl sitting around saying random, mundane things. At least the guy is funny here and there ' i wouldnt ride her into battle, the tide wouldnt carry her out' etc. But the girl is like listenin to paint dry. She doesnt even have a limerick accent. Its really just a rip off of the unfunny video 'Shit Irish Girls Say' but with the fella included. Try script writing it first, it might help make it funny for people with an IQ above

single figures

[mikesheehan]

Good stuff... 2 omissions though. They showed Chicken Hut, but didn't use the word Chut! Also, nobody said tackies.... As in "N'Awful smell off me tackies"...

[sesitty]

wow , this is just wrong, soo wrong...

[FINBAR7777777]

your man is good but your wan is terrible

[fugyoutoo]

@FINBAR7777777 i agree, shes about as funny as a migraine, in fact i think she could induce one.

[ambyyy1]

Someone commented there are Cork Slang words in it, the truth is, the North Cork accent and the Limerick accents are very similar as is the culture like Black Pudding, Pigs Toes etc, in food that is. limerick has the Sh instead of a T, as gesh away oush of ish,' get away out of it' don't know where that came from, some Dubs use it also. Anyway, enjoyed the Vid! Thanks for posting.

[ambyyy1]

Some of them are too posh, like thee Icon, that should be D'icon! I wouldn't get up on her to climb over a wall! ..C'mere I Wancha!

[samsarafloever]

I cant understand most of it :(

[BigIrishmadman]

For fuck sake! I used to say all this shit when I was a teenager! Limerick are about 10 years behind Cork. Everything said in this video originated in Cork.

Come on Limerick! Be original and don't be robbing slang from other cities!

[katielovespretty]

@BigIrishmadman Are you for real? Or are you being an ironic parody of a Cork person here?

[silkyjohns0n]

is she from Limerick? sounds a bit dublinish to me?

[Byronchi85]

Funny stuff lads .............. i lived here a while and there half right ...... me and the peeps enjoyed it much hahaha

[hughmcgauran]

disappointing... its don't i ride you and buy you chips!!! and no one from limerick would call it THE ICON...its always d'icon!!

[katielovespretty]

@hughmcgauran You're right about the ''ride you'' bit... but I don't know anyone who actually calls it d'icon except for occasionally when trying to be funny.

In real life people do actually say 'the icon'... and especially in the context of a heartfelt ''I'm NOT going to the Icon" (which they often rebuke on some hours later)

[lenwad1]

im from limerick and i can safely say this is shit haha

[Diehardmaggot100]

Having some sneaky suspicions about this video.

1.Filmed by Shane Serrano, same guy who filmed RubberBandits "Bags of Glue" video.They had no money at the time so they must know the guy.

2.At the end the guy in yellow sounds suspiciously like BlindBoyBoatClub.

3. If you've seen the edited pictures of the bandits without masks (Blurred) You can see the guy in yellow has the same colour hair & Facial hair.

[Cjthecrow]

@Diehardmaggot100 Not them. But I can see your point.

[xWayne1991x]

@Diehardmaggot100 blindboy boatclubs name is dave chambers, his picture is online. Its not him

[fugyoutoo]

@Diehardmaggot100 your suspicions are an insult to the Rubberbandits. Jeasus but you havent a clue God help you. Its like comparing an artist like Picaso to a monkey throwing shit at a wall. (heres a hint tho, both of the rubber bandits are fellas). Blind boy is tall and skinny...and funny.

[katielovespretty]

@Diehardmaggot100 The guy in yellow is the same guy that's been in the video the entire way through. He only sounds like Blindboy cos THEY'RE DOING THE SAME ACCENT.

And of course Shane knows the bandits. Limerick is not a big place... and he and the boys have been plying their trades for a few years now so of course paths will cross.

[The187Hitman]

THAT FUCKIN BOUNCER REFUSED ME BEFORE THE GOWL!!!!.. I TRIED AGAIN AND GOT IN AFTER WE GAVE A LOAD OF ABUSE HAHA

[Cjthecrow]

@The187Hitman He's in Hermitage Green

[thatguythere89]

i'll see you later.....i have said that wayyyy to many times. 6euro for a gravy chip coke and chicken fillet burger...YURT

[octopuspick]

I'd tear the ring off the blonde in this vid

[funnyboss]

this is brilliant....seriously well done

[megmegmockmock]

"Daaaamind him love he's only a bollix!"

[62scubasteve]

ha ha ha nice one lads ... honestly some people commenting 4 or 5 times get a fucking life other people can do stuff about limerick jez fuckin hell least that's there proper accent and not put on like the rubberbandits !!!!

[fugyoutoo]

@62scubasteve proper accent? you mean Skanger accent. And the Bandits are from Limerick so whatever their accent is its still limerick.. and the girl in the vid doesnt have a limerick accent.

[katielovespretty]

@62scubasteve The bandits (because they're from Limerick) have mastered the Limerick accent... so has the bloke in this vid. I have suspicions about the girl however... she sounds a bit more like she's trying to mask a mayo accent or something

[xWayne1991x]

Why is everyone gettin baaaad? chill the fuck out its only a video. ''Must be the hormones''

[Cjthecrow]

@xWayne1991x Shut the fuck up. Gowl.

[xWayne1991x]

@Cjthecrow stop talking shit over the internet you infantile

[Cjthecrow]

@xWayne1991x Take your own advice. *Sniff Sniff* Yup, smells like hypocrisy.

[xWayne1991x]

@Cjthecrow Give me your real name!! il knock u fuckin out!

[Cjthecrow]

@xWayne1991x KEYBOARD WARRIOR TO THE RESCUE!

[xWayne1991x]

@Cjthecrow And talking shit over the internet in response to somebody else talkin shit is perfectly acceptable

[Cjthecrow]

@xWayne1991x I wasn't talking shit. I was merely telling you to stop typing in faeces in a Limerick manner.

[legendlaceyful]

It should be "crap ugly people say"

[fugyoutoo]

@legendlaceyful lol ;)

[Blackmilk81]

I didn't catch the last bit, is it "of course I love ya, I fuck ya and buy ya drinks don't I?", because that's pure quality if it is!

Great vid!

[flipittv]

@Blackmilk81 its of course I love ya! I fuck ya and I buy ya chips don't I? :)

[Monicaculhane]

@Blackmilk81 Of course i love ya , i fuck ya and buy ya chips dont i ?? Hes outside the chipper ! haha

[moodytoni7]

@Blackmilk81 its i buy you chips dont i

[Jonathan19304]

@Blackmilk81 no its "i fuck you and i buy you chips dont i?"

[lazyguitarist1]

@Jonathan19304 nope, its 'i rides ya, an i buys ya chips' (the Dont i' is optional tho).

[CityofLimerick]

its shite

[flipittv]

@CityofLimerick thats just childish

[TheArdScoilRis]

@flipittv the term "we hate comp" is also commonly used

[CityofLimerick]

Crap people impersonating the rubberbandits more like

[flipittv]

@CityofLimerick that doesn't make sense.

[Cjthecrow]

@CityofLimerick The Rubberbandits impersonate the limerick accent you fucking pleb. But ya man they say Totes all the time. Piss off and put your fathers dick back in your mouth. Cunt

[fugyoutoo]

@Cjthecrow impersonate the 'scumbag' accent as opposed to the Limerick accnet.

[theclonsyo]

@Cjthecrow classy response.

[thisself]

@CityofLimerick you sir are a moron

[zzviloa]

@CityofLimerick that was the worst critical comment of all time.

[BugAMartini]

@CityofLimerick Careful, you're with the Limerick crowd now

[fugyoutoo]

@BugAMartini oh vomit. what are you gonna do to him, write some nasty words? :)

[JustDefyOfficial]

haha chlass stuff man

[superdacentrower]

If you like this get this look up the limerick city soundboard for an android

[Monkmaney]

Ha ha that's daycent!
