I need a real Irishman for a real Irish insult.

I'm brewing up a batch of stout and Irish red for the upcoming St Pats party season.

On my label I want to add a slogan like "Stout - because green beer is for wankers."

However, it occurred to me that "wanker" is more of an English insult rather than an Irish one.

Is there anyone out there from Ireland or having spent time there who can provide an appropriate Irish insult that fits into that same slogan?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I can only think of terms that insult the Irish . . .

Just kidding, really

How about Póg mo thóin (kiss my ass)?

Lightweight. Never insult an irishman's drinking ability.

I may not be a real irishman but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.

the biggest insult to an Irishman is to always refer to him as a Scott.

Yeah, I have a friend who insists this is true. The "Ulster Scots" are probably the source of her contention, even though they're only about 10% of the US Irish population.

amadan is gaelic for idiot.

Watch Boondock Saints and use whatever they do.

Southy wannabees and all that ****e but still, it's closer than ya bloody bastard!

so what did yo uhear back from dublin?

I would use "wankers" because it'd be like the irish saying green beer is for the English.

How about a tribute to the legendary Roy Keane - "You can stick your green beer up your bollocks".

...though from that, it appears he also uses the word "wanker".

The guy's a legend. And quite an angry man in general, as this round up of his top ten rants suggests.

Maybe true...but worse I would say is to call an Irishman an Italian.

Hahahahahahahaha

Genuine Irish man here.

The first slogan that pops to mind when you mention green beer is

"Stout....because green beer is for American tourists", but then I realised I'm insulting the wrong demographic, but it'd be appreciated over here for what it is

"Stout....because green beer is for Amadáns." would be an alright one, where Amadán is the Irish word for fool, it's a polite enough insult too, your granny might call you an Amadán for example, but you'd not hear it in a pub.

"stout.....because green beer is for Bollixes" would be kinda Dublincentric.
