The Irish certainly have a way with words, even when it comes to insults!

Irish people seem to have an abundance of words for making each other feel bad about themselves. So much so, that even we lose track of what they all really mean.

Ever laughed along when an Irish person has called you a strange name, unsure whether you’re being insulted or complimented?

These Irish people are here to save your blushes, explaining all the insults unique to the Emerald Isle and setting you up with a few retorts for next time you’re called an eejit.
