Wearin' o' the green
T’is the day for the wearing o’ the green so put on your green carnation, have a beer, some Irish Soda bread and talk a bit of blarney and pass along some Irish wit and wisdom.
- of a useless fellow: he’s fit to mind mice at a crossroads.
- in praise of strong whiskey: If felt like a torchlight procession going down my throat.
- of a clever thief: He’d steal the sugar out of your punch.
- on trying to change a stubborn person’s mind: You might as well be whistling jigs to a millstone.
- of a woman who made a bad marriage: she burnt her coal and did not warm herself.
- of a talkative person: That man would talk the teeth out of a saw.
- to someone who committed some small fault: T’is only a stepmother would blame you.
- of very bad music: Aw, that’s the tune the old cow died of.
- of a coarse, ill-mannered person using poor language: What would you expect from a pig but a grunt.
- of one who overstays their welcome: If that man came for the wedding, he’d still be there for the christening.
