Screeched in a real Dublin accent at 9am approx on our first foreign holiday with the kids.
Thankfully haven't heard it since 
Born in 1980 obviously  "

I know three lads that were named John Paul who were born in late '79, all three being in the same class in a small rural school.
I also knew a girl who went to see the pope in Galway and got pregnant. To be fair, I don't think it was the main man himself.  |

"Sheugh..
As in "Jaysus, he put the back wheel into the sheugh and near turned the tractor over"
Ooh never heard that before, I presume it's a ditch? "
Jaysus no, a sheugh and a ditch are 2 separate things but you'll find the 2 together. The ditch is there to stop you falling into the sheugh |

To us in Leitrim in my youth, and to you in Monaghan as well it seems, the ditch is the raised bank with the hedge growing on it.
To the unsophisticated savages in other parts, the ditch may well be the drain/sheugh/gripe.
So many interchangeable words.
Which reminds me... If you're spreading dung with a graip/graipe/grape, you have to mind not to get it in the sheugh. |

I had to look up the spelling of sheugh myself to be sure.
"Come in, yisser dinner's poured out!" |

"Aww sure look it.. Actually love that saying.. Hate we don't hear it much up around here "
A wise man once told me that there is no question that can be asked anywhere in the known universe to which "Ah sure look.." is not an appropriate response. |

A lot of words associated with formerly popular Catholic religious rites have dripped out if common usage, such as:
Sunday Mass
Confession
Catechism
Indulgences
Virgin birth (which was always a mystery to me)
Religious vocation
Maynooth seminarian
Patched churches
Canonisation
Beatification
Real apology
Church's landbank

"Aww sure look it.. Actually love that saying.. Hate we don't hear it much up around here "
Honestly I hear that a lot from my relatives.
Nice lot of the old Irish slangs. Brings me back to many a year. Not sure if this one was mentioned but.
"How she cutting?" |

With narcissism becoming exponentially evident in Irish society a few words that have fallen out if favour are:
Humility and generosity
Decency and kindness
Caring and considerate
Selflessness and charity.

"That was kind of you!
Selfishness and nastiness is becoming more pervasive, regrettably!
Kindness is misconstrued as a weakness, rather than as a desirable trait."
Your listening to too much Rihanna.
Gorsun or Gossoun, as in a young lad, haven't heard those words since I was a young lad |

"Come here me auld sagotia and sit on me knee and we'll discuss the first thing that arises "
I wonder if that's a regional thing? "Me ould segotia" used to be common enough in south Leitrim back in the day, not a million miles from your own location. I have a feeling I've heard it in Dublin as well but not sure. |

Nyomp.
"The barber went to cut my hair but the scissors was blunt as fuck and he ended up taking nyomps out of it instead."
"I went to trim my beard but my hand slipped and I ended up taking a nyomp out of it! " |
