Northern Irish Expressions We've Learned | Canadians in Europe 

Just a wee tip from a northern Irish person, scundered actually means embarrassed more than drink, although I believe it can be used in that context on occasion

Scundered means embarrassed. Example “I was clean scundered” meaning “I was so embarrassed”

U were in your man's country.

To someone like me, who is currently moving to central Belfast from Portugal, this is very relatable! Ahah

One that ive noticed is that north Americans will say "i did it on accident" were in the UK & Ireland its normally "i did it by accident".

Hiw about the Pet word hehehe

keeeep er lit

Ach is also the Irish word for "but". Eegit is just a softer way of saying idiot. It's more like being silly. Dear is also an Irish word. "Daor" is the gaelic word for expensive. Scundered is embarrassed. "Down South" also includes Donegal which is actually "up north" lol

Your in Ireland the north of it edjit is a all islan

3/4 of these we say in Australia also

The bye thing is so funny from a Northern Irish perspective, I've never thought about it but we do it all the time!

The way he pronounces 'Ireland' makes me piss myself laughing Also, I thought all countries said awk

Eejit is throughout the whole island, not only the north.

They can't be understood!

Do you want a poke means do want an ice cream cone

scundered also means frustrated, confused, at whits end.

This was brilliant. I am from Belfast, and I actually laughed and spat some food out. It is great, because all the usual books of belfast words and phrases, are actually compiled of things we never really say. So, this was totally 100%, [apart from the scundered thing, which I see you have been made aware of. I would NEVER use it in reference to being drunk, although, you might end up feeling scundered if you did something daft while you were drunk] ANYWAY, thanks for that! I hope you both enjoyed your stay in Belfast!!

So it is means like 'oh yeah it is' I think. So if someone was to prove you wrong about something you would say 'so it is' to sort of admit that you were wrong. At least I think so? I'm not too sure and I'm from here haha

i am from belfast and lived here all my life but ive heard anyone say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye at the end of a call- its always just 1 bye 😂

Scundered doesn’t mean drunk it’s means embarrassed but overal you did a good job mate 👍🏼

Awk is kind of said like uc

Yep I say all the things outlined , I do the bye bye bye thing all the time it is a strange one , don’t worry about bringing our sayings into your vocabulary no one take offence mostly likely not even notice or they will think you have been living here for a wile.

Lmao confused me a bit some of those words at the beginning of my relationship with my Norn Irish boyfriend but now I know them all, got some of them attached to me like aye, wee, etc etc. I’m from Costa Rica so it took me a while to get used to them.

Cool video, you seem grand, what’s the crac these days.. how’s the form? you still living in Belfast? If you are, happy days! Saw you spent a wee few days in Dublin, folks there are dead on. :-) but “fair play” your forgot that one ☝️

A good way to say something like “ it was good fun “ is “THE CRAIC WAS MIGHTY “ my mates say it every time I ask how the party was or something like that.

Scundered means embarrassed or ‘fed up’ (over it or similar) depending on the context, but mostly embarrassed.

you ok????????? bahahaha

Haha “craic” was my favorite!!!!

So it is, means, yeah ur right . They say it wen they have no come back lol
