Smell ur Ma. And you’d either show them the middle finger or you’d pull up your sleeve and show them your elbow. From when I was a teen. It was the ultimate insult and could either shut them up straight away or get the reaction you were looking for by saying it. I use it today on occasions and it’s still as effective.

Im not sure about the first example. But it does have a second meaning.

Lúdramán used to be in common usage in Leitrim in my youth. It was used to refer to a simpleton, or a Donegal person as they were also known!

I didn't realise 'giving out' was an Ireland only phrase until I told a South African friend my mother was giving out to me. She, eh, figured it meant something else.
