Just say the following four words (WHALE OIL BEEF HOOKED) out aloud at a moderate speed and you'll sound like an Irishman swearing.

One tends to find using the sentance "Whale oil be forked" whilst walking in a not too straight a line (preferably with a near empty pint of Guiness in one's hand and a copy of the Racing Post under one's arm) can create a similar impression.

"Beef hooked" is a Scottish term.

"Beef hacked" is Irish.

A friend of mine was trying to teach a Japanese student staying with him some classic Australian lines. After a night of tuition I had him speaking like a local:

"Gettajobyabludger"

An Irish friend of mine was brilliant at chatting up barmaids, playing pool, drinking AND punching people in the nose. Basically good at anything that concerned pubs....

"are you 'Mary, Queen of Scots'?"

"I am."

(sounds of destruction and mayhem, a woman screaming in pain, silence)

"I think she's dead."

"No, I'm not!"

(more destruction, mayhem and woman's screams)

Just to change the tone a bit more.

What's the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMT?

You can negotiate with a terrorist!!

Hey I am a Irish and proud of it!

Some Guinness was spilled on the barroom floor
when the pub was shut for the night.
Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse
and stood in the pale moonlight.
He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor,
then back on his haunches he sat.
And all night long you could hear him roar,
'Bring on the goddam cat!'
