I have been slow to hear many uniquely-Irish expressions while apparently exposed to them constantly.... |
"Yeah but sure" is the first part of an Irish phrase. The rest of it - "what can you do?" - may remain implicit.
I was down at Dunne's Stores the other afternoon and it was busy so I went into the off-licence to check out. While there, I asked the girl at checkout whether the beer cooler had been fixed yet. The one that includes the good inexpensive lager had been out of service ever since the weekend. She said no.
I said (gently, of course; and it's not her fault) "you'd think Dunne's Stores could repair a beer cooler."
She said "Yeah but sure...."
