There are some terms that only Irish people understand such as “cop yourself on”, “come here to me” and “shifting”.
Hollywood actress and singer Juliette Lewis was left a little confused after a Twitter user started a conversation and to be fair, we feel a little sorry for her.
Spotted on JOE.ie, the Cape Fear actress hadn’t a clue what ‘shifting’ meant and so she asked what the term meant.
@JulietteLewis What about Ireland? I’m sure you remember shifting me in @mydolans after your gig all those years ago!

Of course, people were only too happy to explain and here are some of the replies she received…
