“I will in me bleedin’ hole.”
The vast majority of people in Dublin speak English as their first language, but as in other cities, our capital has a dialect that is unique to Dublin alone.
It can be difficult for outsiders (and by outsiders we mean people from counties other than Dublin in Ireland as well as from foreign lands) to grasp what some of the natives are saying, but a crash-course like the one in this Foil, Arms and Hog sketch would have them right in no time.
Classic phrases such as “I will in me bleedin’ hole” and “I’ll bate the head of ya” are referenced and the simple trick to addressing someone by the Dublin version of their name is bang on the money.

Funny and educational at the same time and well worth a look, even if the language does get a little bit industrial at times.
