Grand Soft Day.....it's banjaxed.....stop acting the maggot.....day for the high stool ......Every wonder what Irish people are talking about?? Some of our guests here have been putting pressure on us to unveil the meaning of our quirky phrases. we were reluctant as honestly we sometimes enjoy the look of confusion on your faces! but we'll give in ....here's an explaination of a few.......
1. A Grand Soft Day: This is drizzly rainy weather......not enough to soak you but still enough to frizz your hair (disaster!) Something we get alot of in Galway
2. Banjaxed: The object is completely broken.....never to work again.....like when our dedicated receptionist Anna broke the Twister board game there just was no fixing it - and we still haven't forgiven her!
3. Acting the Maggot: To act up or act the eejit ......Barnacles team member Scott does this on a regular basis always getting himself into trouble and all sorts of sticky situations....Check out our flickr page to see
4. A day for the high stool: One of our personal favourites! When it's raining so hard that there is simply nothing you can do but go to the nearest pub and plonk yourself down on a high stool by the counter and have a few beers. .....
What phrases did you come across when travelling in Ireland? Let us and our guests know .... you'll be helping generations of backpackers to come!
