Ah, Ireland. A land of gorgeous mountains, rivers, forests and coasts. Without this lovely country, we wouldn’t have Guinness, submarines, Ryanair, flavored potato chips (or crisps as the Irish call them), the world’s best whiskey, or Colin Farrell. It may be a small country with only 5 million residents, but it has certainly made its mark on the rest of the planet.

To celebrate how unique and special Ireland is, we’ve taken a trip down the feed of the Meanwhile in Ireland Instagram account and gathered some of our favorite posts. So pour yourself a glass of Jameson, pop on your favorite Cranberries record, and enjoy this list dedicated to the world’s kindest potato-loving people.

Keep reading to also find an interview with Katie Morris, one of the creators of Meanwhile in Ireland, and be sure to upvote the posts you find most hilarious, or relatable if you hail from Ireland. Let us know in the comments what you love most about the Emerald Isle, and then if you’re interested in checking out another Bored Panda article that perfectly sums up what it’s like to live in Ireland, you can find that right here!

If you are a farmer on the Canadian prairies, you've likely built this and pushed the trees like that (or bought an acreage like this). It cuts the wind coming across the prairies. Annoying that you can't see anything coming, but who cares? You are cozy and out of the wind/ shaded from the summer sun.

Yeah, okay.

    In my grandma's sheltered housing they had car park CCTV on one of the channels and when the digital switchover happened in the UK there was an uproar from all all the little old ladies because they couldn't spy on who was being visited or gossip about an ambulance turning up anymore. Eventually the building manager had to set up a special local digital channel on the buildings distribution system to restore the peace.

    To gain some more insight on the background of Meanwhile in Ireland, we reached out to one of the page's creators, Katie Morris. "We started off as a Facebook page showing the funniest real life images and memes from Ireland," she shared with Bored Panda. "The content went viral and within 5 years, we had over 500,000 followers which was incredible! It was hard to believe!" And their audience has only continued to grow, as their Facebook page currently has over 760k followers.

    While we all know about certain Irish traditions, celebrities and scenic spots we admire from the outside, we wanted to hear from Katie what she thinks makes Ireland so special. "Ireland is a fascinating place. The people and culture make it unique," she shared. "Irish people have a way of not taking life too seriously and seeing the funny side of things which makes us generally well-liked around the world."

    We were also curious what Katie loves the most, and the least, about Ireland. "The people, music, culture and Guinness are some of our favorite things about Ireland," she shared. Even as a foreigner, I can agree with all of those responses!

    "Our least favorite thing is probably the cost of living in 2022!" Katie shared. While inflation has affected the entire planet, Ireland has been hit particularly hard. As of October this year, Irish inflation reached 9.2% in annual terms, while electricity prices have gone up a staggering 71.2% and gas prices have shot up by 93.3%. Ireland is now tied with Denmark for having the highest cost of living of any EU nation, due to having the most expensive health care in the EU and prices that are, on average, 40 cents higher than other European nations.

    This makes it sound like there is no legal minimum age for drinking alcohol in Ireland. That is not true - it's 18. I'm guessing the implication is that kids start drinking much earlier than that in Ireland but I know for a fact that's true of the other countries too.

    3 years ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    I think it has more to do with cultural norms (although the drinking age bit is pretty inaccurate). Like for example when I was living in Germany you could technically buy beer at 16 and liquor at 18, although if at home with family it's different. Plenty of younger ones had a half beer half cola drink for special dinners. Edit: sorry if I lost the plot in my response. Basically what is legal age for purchasing and what is allowed in supervised situations also differs between countries and cultures

    In Germany you can actually try Alcohol way sooner when your parents are there and allow it. Obviously not Vodka but beer and wine are ok. We are not that strict about it. Better have a taste young and know that it‘s not the hype it‘s said to be, then turning 21 and suddenly binge drinking because finally you are allowed to…

    You lot think about legal age of consumption. But a lot of European laws only talk about legal age of offering (purchase or giving) and possession. In Belgium any parent (or legal guardian) could give there child a beer and the alcohol law will say nothing. (Child protection service is another matter/law). As a matter of fact, I first got drunk between the age of 2 to 4 weeks. Apparently I had a stumach issue and did not sleep well pervious day. Dip my pacifier in some Jenever, then sugar and they let me suck on that. I apparently slept like a baby (pun intended).

    We were curious if there were any misconceptions about Ireland that Katie would like to dispel while she had the floor. She shared, "Contrary to popular belief, we do not say 'top of the morning'. We actually find it insulting if you say that to us!" So remember that when you make your trip to the gorgeous country; the last thing you want to do is offend any locals!

    "Make sure you visit Ireland at least once in your life, and follow Meanwhile in Ireland for the best Irish humor!" Katie added.

    I’m not Irish but I don’t believe that any Irish guy would leave his Guinness in the men’s toilets for others to enjoy because his luggage was too heavy. Unless he had 20 cans and just needed to get rid of 2.

    Unfortunately, I’ve yet to visit Ireland myself, but I recently had a couple of friends visit from there, and after hearing about how lovely it is, Ireland has certainly jumped to the top of my “must visit” list. But one thing they also made very clear to me is that in Ireland, I would have a hard time understanding anyone, and I would likely make a fool of myself often by using the wrong words and phrases. (Such as asking for a ride home when I really should say lift. Apparently 'ride' means something entirely different in Ireland...) This didn’t come as a complete surprise to me, as I have to watch Derry Girls with subtitles on or I become lost extremely fast, but I had no idea how many unique phrases and slang words Irish people use.

    Used to be able to do this back in the day - literally turn up to an airport, any airport, with cash and an overnight / weekend bag, go up and down the flight desks asking to tannoy you if there were any no shows / cancellations, then negotiate a price to wherever the flight was going - sometimes return, sometimes not. It was an 'interesting' way to take breaks but ideal if you were young, resilient and resourceful. I've had some amazing and cheap holidays all over the world doing this ... Sadly no longer, shame.

    To help you pandas learn a few words and phrases that you might come across in Ireland, I’ve consulted this list from Keith O’Hara at The Irish Road Trip. One that Keith notes that is common in his everyday speech is “minus craic”. He explains that it means “a situation or person that’s no fun”. “For example, ‘I called over yesterday and he was going on about his new tractor for an hour. It was minus craic’,” he writes. That’s certainly one I would have never known, unless I could decipher the meaning through context.

    Apparently, in Ireland, “act the maggot” means to mess around or do something that you’re not supposed to be doing. “That young lad was in here last night acting the maggot,” is the example Keith used to explain it. Another I definitely would need to have explained to me is “donkey’s years”. “‘Donkey’s years’ is used to describe a long passing of time,” Keith writes. “You’ll generally hear people use this when describing how long it’s been since they’ve seen someone, or how long it’s been since they’ve done something. For example, ‘I haven’t seen Tony in donkey’s years.’”

    One of the expressions that my friends recently explained to me, as someone who’s never been to Ireland, was “yer man”. “You’ll often hear this used when someone’s describing someone that they don’t like, however it can also be used when you don’t know someone’s name,” Keith explained. I was also told that one way to translate this to American English would be by saying “that guy” instead, if you’re referring to someone you don’t actually know.

    Another Irish term I was recently taught is “culchie”. This phrase is used to describe someone who lives in a remote part of the island, but for people from Dublin, it might be used for anyone from outside of Dublin. “For example, ‘The pub last night was wedged with culchies’,” Keith writes. If you’re looking to insult someone in Ireland, there are also a few Irish-specific words that you might want to know how to use. Some of the tame insults Keith notes are goon, gobshite, eejit (similar to idiot), pox (someone who is annoying), and dope (someone who is stupid). My friends from Ireland also educated me on the phrase “scarlet fer yer ma” or “scarlet fer yer ma fer havin’ ye”. Essentially, this translates to “how embarrassing for you”, or you did something so shameful your mother should be embarrassed (or blushing) just for having you. That one would hurt.

    The stunning coastal town of Cobh in County Cork was the final docking of the Titanic before it set off to America. They have a really interesting museum there and as you exit at the end, they issue you a randomized boarding ticket from one of the real passengers that was on the ship, and you can see what class you were in and if you survived or not

    They have a permanent Titanic museum in Tennessee near Dollywood. It's very much like what you described. But the staff member in the room where you're trying to find out if you lived or died kept asking me when I thought the Cubs would win the World Series of baseball. The flippancy was unappreciated. My second class passenger lived though so there was that.

    With one slight exception due to a staff members self chosen light and happy mood, everything else was very good. It tried to immerse you in the experience and really made you think. They even had a simulated section where you walk on the deck in the ice cold where they placed a huge piece of ice right up against the railing. It's very quiet and very cold. As a Titanic buff it was impactful.

    My primary school taught us ocarina. As an avid zelda fan, I was thrilled - Ocarina of time was one of my favourite games. I may or may not have sounded like a monkey being thrown down the stairs.

    They STILL use these things in American music class. Always sounds like a dying flock of birds at first. The students get those things and I wonder why the school cafeteria doesn't offer teachers an open bar.

    LOL OMG the Sudocrem love is so real, the day my Mum found out it was made in Ireland she made it a holiday. I not only have tubs of it all over my apartment, but I saw some at Coles when buying something else the other day for her, a purse sized tube, so got her that so she can take it with her everywhere.

    I have Sudocrem in every size available, even though I know I am paying a stupid amount of money for the tiny ones. It’s amazing for eczema.

    Sipping a Hot Toddy on a sick day home from school was always a treasured childhood memory.

    Lemsip, whiskey, honey, lemon and cloves. Take the paint off the door but also the flu off your chest

    Hot tip: Always stand in front of the door so they can't jam their hand in and override you doing this.

    This was the only thing you could rely on being on the menu every day in primary school. Chips were always there too. We had about 6 options. Bring back 1982.

    Same for my dog! He can’t get enough bubble wrap. He sniffs every package delivered to our house, trying to figure out if there is bubble wrap in it. You hold it, and he uses his front teeth to nibble at, popping the bubbles.

    It's called Axe here. Which is good because I know someone who changed his name to Lynx. And if I frequently giggle inside when I think about the connection and how much it suits him (60+yo musician still living like an adolescent), at least most of his acquaintances here in Canada probably aren't having those thoughts. Now if he'd called himself Axe....

    I’m not sure I do either but I suspect it was sarcasm regarding having left the neighbours tiny strip of grass?

    That cannot be comfortable. How is that not irritating as heck? Also, why is she clenching her cheeks so tight? Holding in a fart? Or something else?
