Dubliners' are into the phrase "meet" while Kilkenny (11%), Laois (9%), and Wicklow (14%) keep it classic with the simple "kissing" term. Limerick people prefer the more descriptive "ateing the face" off each other (14%) and look, each to their own.
As for complimenting potential partners, Irish people use terms such as "gorge" (10%) and "lush" (7%), although people in Laois' favourite term of endearment is "savage" with the majority (36%) opting for this phrase.
The capital is divided on the topic; Dublin’s North-siders prefer to call 10/10s a "ride" (35%) while South-siders go for "fine thing" (28%). However, all Dubliners agree that saying "lush" and "lethal" gives them the ick.
So there you have it. No matter where you are in Ireland, you're clued up on what they call kissing, or which terms of endearment they're into (and more importantly which they're not).Explore more on these topics:
