  1. Old Sayings Heard in Our Locality

    Share Share Post
    A shut mouth catches no flies
    One good turn deserves another
    Hunger is a good sauce
    Two wrongs dont make a right
    You cant catch old birds with chaff
    No use crying over spilt milk
    Fire and water are good servants but bad masters

    " Fáinne óir ort " is said to the person who gets the ace and robs at cards.

    Better a small fish than a empty dish
    A rainbow in the morning is the Shepherds warning
    A rain bow at night is the Shepherds delight
    A good run is better than a bad stand
