An
Irish phrase. Another way to tell someone to “wise up”.
To stop being so ridiculous and to come back down to Earth. Can also be said in an affectionate way, for example, when someone is being hilarious and ridiculous and you don’t agree with what they’re saying; Irish
people’s tones
will tell you the difference.
“I’m too sick to go to school...”
“Are you dying? No! Didn’t think so, catch yourself on and get out the front
door.”
“It’s raining mammy and that means Jesus is
crying.”
“Hahahahahaha catch yourself on ya
eejit, it’s raining because it’s raining!”
