    Sometimes if there were a "prime boy" in the road he'd say "That the road may rise with you and strike you in the heels" or "That the road may rise with you as high as the ditch."
    When a person woned (?) sneeze, the would say "Dia linn" or "Dia linn is Muire Mháthair." or "God bless us." sometimes someone present would say the "Dia linn" or "God bless us." if the person who sneezed didn't say it. Someone, too sometimes would answer "Amen."
    When talking about someone who was dead people always say "God rest his or her soul." or "May the "heavens be his bed," or "the Lord have mercy on her soul."
