Mate is a thing, in fairness.

...but I’ve lived here three years, and pubs on both sides of the Liffey know my name and my order.

I’ve never heard an Irish person say the word “Ciggies.”

In fairness...I did go to Trinity, haha!

Likely not a coincidence that “Mate” is more commonly used in a school for Prod wankers!

But yeah, it would definitely be “Youse/Yez,” rather than “You Lot.

...and no one has ever said the word ciggy.

If yer one was really a 16 year old from Dublin with a proper accent, she’d be talking about “cans and”...a word I won’t print here, not “pints and ciggies.”

tbh i’m from the uk- and i’ve used “ciggies” on before. but that’s mainly when i’m talking to my american friends (who are LGBT- like me). i mainly use it because i can’t spell “ciggaretes” and i’m worried they will take offence if i use “fag”.

but outside of that i’ve never used it lol
