Cold-fire - I am well aware of that other pathetic thread. You know, just because you don’t post, doesn’t mean you don’t read.
Quote:“What the fuck is this about?” If you don’t understand the thread, don’t post to it, you’ll just embarrass your self.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Bringin’ in da hay :- Kildare is a rural area. Shouldn’t you be out working in the fields kinda thing.
going spacko:- Never heard that before but going nuts etc.
All right, tip number two for today: dig up, Tarantula.
It’s not too late to become a normal poster. But it has to start about… right fucking now.
5…4…3…
That would be Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain. Tarantula is definitely removing doubt here.
Alright, fine.
Sheeeh. Way to ruin a bit of fun…
Back to GQ with me…

“Hey, Yojimbo! Wait up!!!”
Thanks for the assist, Yojimbo.. (Of course, in my head all the Irish dopers talk like Colin Farrell.)
Colin Farrell doesn’t even talk like Colin Farrell.

going spacko:- Never heard that before but going nuts etc.
… meanwhile, yojimbo is talking a bit like Gareth Gates 
Note: spacko = spaz, spastic. Definitely not PC.

yojimbo “going spacko” is a well known phrase outside The Pale, it might sound more familiar to you if I said “freakin outta me bleedin chops, wha’”.
As for the bringin in de hay jibe … well … D’at’s Right!! (in suitable D’Unbelievables voice)

For anyone else not in Ireland, sorry people, just taking the piss out of our own crusty dialects, begorrah. Cue green felt suits, red sideburns and Darby O’Gill lurking in the background.
Desmostylus going spacko definitely does NOT mean that where I come from. It means insane temper tantrum, and nothing else.
Did someone spike today’s Guinness or what?
I think Demo is right in the etymology of the phrase.
utkik, what’s the difference between a temper tantrum and spazzing out?
Nah, it’s way more unusual than that: the sun’s finally come out. Everyone’s terribly giddy.
What do the slang terms “spaz” and “spastic” mean where you come from? Idiot.
Right Desmostylus, where exactly did I mention ‘spaz’ or ‘spastic’ in my postings? Nowhere.
I said ‘spacko’, which, where I come from means temper tantrum. Nothing. Else.
It might mean something else where you’re from. If so, so be it. I dont give a shit. See the ‘wanker’ thread thats going on at the moment aswell.
Seeing as I have a mentally handicapped sibling I DO NOT think I’d insult her by using slang phrases for her, do you?
Now lets drop it, it’s Friday.
utkik, are you insane?

Now, how exactly does “temper tantrum” not equal “spastic”?
