Great list, that. The slang word for school is... 'School - Primary or Secondary School / Elementary, Junior High or Senior High School'

Who'd've thunk it?

Agreed. It is almost incredibly stupid. Then again it is a British site which may explain the level of stupidity.

Anyone know how to say "Fu'ck right off Mike and paint yer arsepeice as red as yer ould bake" in Irish.

Closest I can get is: Fu'ck ceart as Mike agus péinteáil an fhéaraigh chomh dearg agus níor chóir é a bhácáil.

Of course, I love a pear tart .............or most tarts I suppose.

Anyway: a fháil suas an clós mór duit ya ginormous geebag.

There is a topical phrase at present
#Ibelieveher which in Irish is #ibelieveher
“That made me feel very special and underlined to me that Ulster is more than a team, it is a community and a rugby family"

Another topical word/phrase for this week is "AMACH" meaning "OUT" as in, for example, Logan Amach. And to pronounce it - https://www.bitesize.irish/inirish/2217

Why have they changed the spelling of a man's name? Serious question.
