“Jesus christ lads, that would blow the tits righ aff ye”- I guess the meaning is: “The vodka is so strong, it would blow the tits right off you” or something being so impactful it would blow the tits right off you.
“Sure I’m fucking flat out”- meaning: I am busy
“I’m up the walls”- meaning: I am busy
“You’re on the ball”- meaning: to have everything under control
“Ah go away!”- used in an (argumentative) dialogue- A: “The local politicians are building a new road!”, B: “Ah, go away, sure that road won’t be finished in your lifetime!” OR for voicing surprise- “Go away, they did not just do that!”

I am sure there’s more, but I’ll capture them as I hear them 🙂 If you know any, leave them in the comments! 🙂
Come here I’ll tell ye!
“Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye…” before hanging up the phone.

Thanks Dubliner!
Can’t believe I forgot the “bye bye bye bye bye…”
Also- referring to people as “your man” (male) and “your one” (female) 😀

´ i will ring you´- i will call you
local slang (mostly Maoori) – ghee, bro, cuz (cousin)

confusing to me in Ireland was when someone told me: “I’ll call in later”… I thought they would be ringing, when they meant they will be visiting!!!
oh.. and half two (time) is 2:30 not 1:30… that was a valuable lesson, otherwise I was always an hour early for the bus 😀
