If you grew up in Northern Ireland, chances are you say a few things the rest of the world just don't get.
From laughing when someone "falls on their hoop" to telling a pal he is "doing your head in" - it's clear that sometimes we speak a very different language in this wee part of the world.
But how well do you know these Northern Irish sayings and can you tell your 'bout ye' from your 'quit your gurning'?

So I am or so I did - at the end of a sentence
Because it's not enough to say what something is, what you've done or what you're going to do. A true Belfast native must reinforce it with "so I am", to really make their point.
The phrase “grand”
Fine or good. There is no other word that will let you or them know just how fine it is than "grand".
Yer man/woman
Referring to someone near you or someone whose name you can't place. You know yer woman. The one off the telly. Yer woman! Come on, you know yer woman!
Will you see/meet my mate?
Has nothing to do with be introduced or catching sight of their mate, but is in fact a way of asking whether you'll kiss their friend. Someone asks you this, and you either say yes or no. This is the way many young courtships in Belfast happen. Ah, young love!
The craic's 90
It's great fun - as all nights are in Belfast sure!
