another irish colloquial phrase that i'm about to use is "they can't hold the steam of their own piss" and it just refers to someone who can't hold on to a secret or like, any bit of information at all! for example, at christmas time, my mam would say "blue you can't even hold the steam of your own piss" because i'd be trying to give her the christmas present months before christmas day. so it sounds ??? but it's. it's a thing we say in my county at least--
#( OUT OF SOULS. )#( i went into this very enthusiastically )#( bUT IT SOUNDS GROSS BUT IT ISN'T OKAY )#( IT'S JUST A FUNNY SAYING )#( OR 'hold your whisht!' which is just like 'shut up!' but we'd say it in like. an emergency situation )#( it's not shut up forever it's like. shut up for a second! )
