Heard in Waterford
What kids do to the family dog at home, by mounting him and shouting giddy up. Useful as an insult too, to exert seniority over another, particularly during an intellectual discussion at the local public house.
Football! What would you know about it? Listen I was playin' football when you were at home in the kitchen makin' a horsheen outta the dog!
What would you know of the beautiful game? I was playing whilst you were in the scullery transforming the family hound into a miniature steed!
