soitis

Pronounced: so-ite-us

A Northern Ireland condition whereby an individual involuntarily adds a range of colloquialisms to the end of a statement, often as a means of self reassurance, that the statement is true and trustworthy. Much like "isn't it?". The condition is named after the most common of these: "so it is".

The exact phrase alters depending on tense, changing "so it is" to "so it was" or maybe "so it will".

The phrase can also alter to reflect a person or a third party object: "so he was", "so she will" or "so it would"

There is also the negative: "so its not"

(phonetical spelling)

Oh, Hararya Gillian! don't you know our yacht club in Bangor is clearly the best in all of Christendom.... so it is

Wait till I tell ya, you're a knob.... so you are

hararya

HAR-AR-YA? :intj: a greeting; colloquialism of well to do people in Northern Ireland's 'County Down' area; expression of joy to see someone. Basically its "How are you" but the enthusiasm of the speaker garbles the words. Can be extended to "FER-GOODNESSAKE-HAR-AR-YA" to show special delight in meeting someone.

*Paddy and Robert catch each others' eye as they pass in the boat club*

Robert: OCK, FER-GOODNESSAKE PADDY, HARARYA?

Paddy: Nevermind me Robert, what about you?
