Unintentionally, I have started using the phrase "Its all grand like" I use it mean "Relax.. everything is ok."

More specifically, RO and I got Halo 3. When I play, RO loves coaching me and chearing me on. He can be very intense. Sometimes I think he wants to rip the controller out of my hands and take over. When he is very worked up I say. "Calm down. It's all grand like."

I have never heard that phrase before. Just chill out or take a pill.

Big smile on my face. My plans for the Irish to dominate the English language is slowly but surely taking off. :)

I got the name from my sister. I love how, when you ask an Irish person if they are comfortable, they'll often reply with "I'm Grand";I love the use of that word.

One day when talking with my sister on the phone. We were reflecting on how tragic her life had been up til then, but from a distance where we were also able to mention the good times.

Afterwards, there was a little pause followed by "It's all grand, like." I thought it was a lovely way of accepting the good and bad things that life offers.

So, now it is up to you to spread the expression, even if you have perverted it a bit. :)
