Wouldn't puck flies off a cow shite

Irish phrase, used to describe someone who lacks any skill in the sport of hurling/ camogie. When referring to Ireland's national sport, one may commonly hear people mention the act of 'pucking' the sliothar (ball) with the hurley, one of the many skills in the game. Pucking is in fact considered to be the sport's most fundamental skill, with any inability to perform this skill essentially dooming a player to failure. In rural Ireland, where hurling is commonly played, it is not uncommon for one to encounter the fecal matter of cows or other animals when strolling through a country field. On closer inspection, one may observe insects such as flies and dung beetles congregating around the fecal matter. The proximity of the flies to the fecal matter is generally such that they would be very easy targets should one feel compelled to swing a hurley in their direction. Thus, for someone to be considered unable to connect with flies in close proximity to a cow's fecal matter, they must be completely lacking in the basic skills of hurling/ camogie.
