REPEAL SUPPORTER, JEAN O’Brien has put a gas twist on the ‘Together for Yes’ campaign name and slogan.
It all started off when Limerick Repeal decided to mess around a bit with the slogan and change it to ‘Together for Yurt’ – ‘yurt’ being a limerick slang for ‘yes’ which was popularized by the Rubberbandits – and made these awesome badges
Dubliner Jean wanted in on the colloquial slagging and created a facebook banner for Dublin repealers to use, as well as Limerick heads.
She was inspired to create more facebook banners that acknowledged the myriad of vernacular ways that Irish counties say ‘yes’.
For a small wee island, we certainly have a good few unique ways to affirm in the positive.
Jean reached out to the Oh My God What A Complete Aisling page for help with the local lingo, and these were some of the results:
The Rebels
The Premier county for premier healthcare
The wee county is Louth and Proud
Repeal roysh now
Reppin’ for the Kingdom
Dún na nGal is for women
Royal county is saying..
Mayo for Repeal (and Sam, but repeal first)
The Gentle county
Tribeswomen and men are saying tá
Whilst, Kildare didn’t get one of its own (sorry Kildare, but you’re basically just extended Dublin), Craggy Island did…
And Ireland Simpsons fans of course got involved…
…after numerous requests, Jean made the best one of all
