Brace yourselves: the ultimate McGettigan’s PADDY’S PARTY at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre is looming and it’s so flippin’ exciting…

Because St. Patrick’s Day is the BEST day of the year, bar NONE!

Celebrated the world over, by all nationalities, Paddy’s Day traditionally celebrated St. Patrick, the man who drove the snakes out of Ireland (it’s a long story) but now, it’s a global day of fun, music, drinks and dance…

So to get yourself prepped for the huge Irish music festival (featuring Kodaline and more!) at the Media City Amphitheatre on March 16, here’s some Irish lingo to impress your international friends…

1. Craic

Used in a sentence: “She’s some craic”

Copyrighted by the Irish back in the 1800’s, craic mean LOADS of fun. If someone’s loads of craic? That means they’re the best fun. The highest compliment…

2. Spanner

Used in a sentence: “You’re some spanner”

A phrase used to describe someone who’s an idiot or an eejit, if you really want to show-off your Irish roots, call them an “amadán”, pronouced ‘om-a-dawn,” an Irish word also loosely described as an idiot or a turkey.

3. Gob

Used in a sentence: “Shut your gob”

Another word for mouth. And a standard way to impolitely ask someone to just ssshhhhhhhh.

4. Lock-in

Used in a sentence: “A lock-in is the greatest invention of all time.”

When all bars need to shut, a lock-in is the golden magical hour a venue locks all doors and stays open after hours.

5. Beour 

Used in a sentence: “She’s some beour”

A word used to describe an attractive girl or if someone has an attractive girlfriend.

6. Savage

Used in a sentence: “This concert is savage”

A 100% less cheesy word than ‘awesome’, ‘savage’ in Irish slang means ‘brilliant’ or ‘ace’. If something is really incredible, you can describe it as ‘savage’.

7. Grand

Used in a sentence: “Sure, I’m grand”

Ingrained in Irish slang since the year dot, ‘grand’ means ‘fine’…no more, no less.

8. Yer man/Yer wan

Used in a sentence: “Yer man over there with the big gob”

A phrase used to describe that guy or that girl over there. Makes total sense.

9. Cop on

Used in a sentence: “Tell yer wan to cop on”

You’ll used this phrase if you need to tell someone to get some common sense and stop acting like an idiot.
