  1. (continued from previous page)
    any remarks about babies lest they may "overlook" them
    A dog's age
    "A stone's throw" of the place
    A mile and a bit
    Have it yourself or be without it
    As long as a bad year
    As wild as goats on the mountain
    At the back of God's Speed
    Since his boots cosh 4
    She has a "plaster" in you
    You're a nice lump and "penn''orth"
    He's the nice "alley daily"
    She burned the meal to a "Crústóg"
    There no potatoes there but "Crickauns"
    Never throw out the dirty water till you have the clean inside
    All at home by my "Mí-ádh"
    He's down and out
    They are in the "the last legs"
    She disappeared as if the ground swallowed her
    Never say die till your dead
    The longer you live the more you'll hear
    The pride of an old hat is to cock it
    Beggars cant bear heat (hate)
    Put a beggar on horseback and he'll ride to the devil
    There's no road but the straight one
