I love that in Dublin the phrase "ah stop" does not mean you should stop and most often means "tell me more"

@Selkies__ I think that's the sister to the slightly zen thing where you say "ach, sure listen.." and then don't say anything further.

@Selkies__ 'I will,yeah'.....which means 'I absolutely will NOT, and you've a cheek asking'. Must be very difficult for anyone trying to learn English in Ireland to understand us 😄

@Selkies__ The quintessentially English "Shut up" is brilliant too. It takes skill, though, to get the tone and timing (and accent) just right.

@Selkies__ Heard of an elderly Cork lady once, stranded in an airport in America. She was confused. Strangers initially seemed to want to help but then inexplicably walked off when she started to explain her predicament. Her opener, "Don't talk to me ..."
