I was in Dublin last year, spent a fair amount of time with a lovely Dublin boy... this post brings good memories, upvotes for you! <3

As a UK northerner I have both never heard most of these but would also know exactly what they were on about then respond with my own slang,
BelfastLady
Bout yeeee
commanderx11
Hit me up if you've got questions
Zarkai
Scot here, would probably be the exact same.
godmademedoit
It's like we know our own slang is ridiculous so just go with our gut based on context. Or just say "aye, man".

My favourite Dublinism has to be "are you for serious?" A phrase for when you can't decide if they're being serious or for real all at once.
MsSpike
I thought American kids just said this in junior high... Because their brains aren't fully developed.
HelpMeMortyAndSummer
Nope. This is a common Dublin thing.

Very "Townie" in fairness.

Oh, I do love that accent. I must plan a trip to Dublin and visit pubs, ask for directions, etc.
pandatoast
come on over, it is great craic!
batarnak
craic?
pandatoast
craic is hard to translate, it can mean many things but in this context it means fun, but e.g. What's the craic? = How are you?

I have to be honest, I had trouble understanding your sentence.
IsmellTHEFINGERPRINTSOFSCUM
I don't blame you! I used little to no punctuation.
justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
Some might say, "Ye Bleedin' Dooope Ya!"..but to me, you're "An Aul One!". Until next post!

AMemoryOfShite
Excellent, always nice to hear! I was away for a while and came back in 2014, it's my favourite place in the world!

Favourite pub?
IrishBITS
I want it to be my favorite place in the world too, but sadly, I've never been. I have a goal of 1 day livin there though. So much planning!

In what industry did you find work, if I may be so bold as to ask? I have heritage there, and I've thought it'd be cool to travel there.
IsmellTHEFINGERPRINTSOFSCUM
I'm a marine doing security at the embassy
mike94551
Embassy duty or security forces?
chemistsdoitintesttubes
Well, that is an unexpected answer. Thanks for your service! Unfortunately, I'm disabled, so military is out. My current field is biotech.
Bohsjimmy
I pass the US embassy every day on the way to work, what's the craic with the amount of security? The effort of queuing every morning!
thisisit22
As an American who really wants to move there, how'd you do it?!
IsmellTHEFINGERPRINTSOFSCUM
luck of the draw just got sent there for work
Dragonshiz
There are much nicer places in Ireland then Dublin. If you want a more authentic Irish experience go to the west :)
thisisit22
I don't care what city I end up in
Dragonshiz
You will once your here. Ireland is a very diverse place, cities vary greatly
Bohsjimmy
You need money, lots of it, rent is expensive. Good night life though and plenty of culture and lovely architecture, it's a good choice imo
id0ntlikepe0ple
The west is a fucking waste land what are ya on
Dragonshiz
You've obviously never fully experienced it.
Bohsjimmy
Lads lads lads. Let's not fight among ourselves. All of Ireland is poxy and all of it is class.

Another favourite of mine is "She's only a bleedin' geebag" - she is a lady of ill repute
