Jamie Dornan Teaches You Northern Irish Slang | Vanity Fair

[krystenw]

thank you so much for waching northern irish slang with me Liam Neeson

[kriissyyify]

He's not even joking with 'wee' it's literally used in every sentence here. "I had a good wee night out" "I'm feeling a wee bit down today" "that wee 40ft man is tall" it makes no sense but for some reason it's just accepted.

My mum who is French came to NI in the 90s, she was confused for the longest time about "wee" thinking it was "oui"

Alexander Skarsgaard AND Jamie Dornan? You're too good to us, Vanity Fair.

"Thank you so much for watching Northern Irish slang with me - Liam Neeson"
hahhaha

I'm Scottish and it's funny because so many of the words he mentions are ones that we use here as well! For example, wee, jammie, steamin, eejit, faffin we use all the time in Scotland, and we say 'kegs' instead of kex, but omg, it's so similar!! But then i guess Scottish and Irish people are very much alike! x

"Thank you for watching Northern Irish slang with me....Liam Nesson." That about sums Jamie up
Reminded me of the time Jamie said the celebrity he gets most mistaken for is Eddie Murphy....that is Jamie's humor, which I love.

*MIND. BLOWN.*

“Any more of this and there’ll be less of it” made me burst out laughing. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of my Irish Nan because that is something she always says.

[tahneedavies]

“Northern Ireland is know for basically..ME.” 🤣🤣

[Worgiewoo]

Loads of these are used all over the UK, but how sweet is Jamie don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile that much

[ikamy]

Please do one with Tom Hiddleston about Shakespearean slang !!! This is gonna be awesome !!! 🤯 And I love those videos keep going 😉

[puddylump]

Anyone else thinking that he would have been much sexier as Mr Grey if he used his Irish accent? xx

[jessmking]

Was engaged to a Northern Irish fella once & he said almost all of them! Some were new but... either way, their accent makes me weak in the knees, gah!
😍😍😍😍😍

[colbiegraham]

Do people just think we’re leprechauns with the music in the background an all 😂

[stationa]

Since this segment started I've been looking forward to Jamie showing up.

[chelseacardwell]

As a Northern Irish person myself, I had no need to watch this but it was worth it for Jamie 😍😂

[amandawright]

As a Scouser, I didn’t realise how many of these ‘Irishisms’ I actually use. Great video.

[Sweshification]

I NEED Cillian Murphy to do one of these!!!
