My dad once told me that he taught two sisters in the same class in school but that’s just ‘irish twins’ so not really relevant

Are twins a different thing in Ireland?

No but I taught a class where there was a brother and sister who were meant to be in different years, but the boy was held back, and so they were in the same class but tired of telling people they weren’t twins.

Irish twins is two siblings born 9 months apart, so the mother got pregnant directly after the first child was born. It’s called ‘irish twins’

Ah I see. Probably something an English lad like me should avoid saying tbh

Loooool, my mate and his brother have this age gap, different school years tho.

Their dad likes to say “when [child 1] arrived we thought he was rubbish so we’d better try again, then when [child 2] arrived we thought we’d better stop because the results were getting worse”. Not Irish tho.
