Now we’re dundalking
(Irish slang – phrase)
1. Used when something finally starts going really well, especially after a rough start. The Irish equivalent of “now we’re talking!” but with extra emphasis, usually said when you’ve just pulled off a big job, landed a win, or turned a disaster around at the last second.
2. Originates from the idea that once you’ve reached Dundalk, you’re well on your way — momentum is behind you and things are flying.
