What's the proper response to Top o' the mornin' to ye?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, the proper response to "Top o' the mornin' to ye" is just a casual "And the rest of the day to yourself." It's like the Irish way of saying "hello" and "have a good day," all rolled into one. So, like, just keep it chill and roll with it.

Answer 4

I've heard the proper response is "And the rest of the day to yourself." I'm Irish and I have never NEVER EVER heard anyone say that except in films with ridiculously bad Irish stereotypes. Couldnt agree more with the last answer. It makes me cringe when ever I hear an American say that and put on a really bad Irish accent

Answer

When you wish some one the "Top of the Morning" you are wishing them the best part of the morning. To which they should reply, "and the rest of the day to yourself." This is wishing you a good rest of the day.

Answer 5

Responses to someone saying, "Good Morning" could include one of these:

• A simple nod of the head (no verbal reply).
• A smile and a nod (no verbal reply).
• Say "Good Morning" back, in response.
• Respond with, "Good Morning, nice to see you" (if you haven't seen the person recently)
• Respond with, "Good Morning, How are you?" (Only if you really are interested in how a person feels, or you might get more information than you want. It helps if you have 5 minutes for conversation. If you are short on time, just reply back, "Good Morning!" in a cheerful tone.
• Some people grouchily reply, "What's so good about it?" But that conveys a negativity that pushes most people away, so it might be better to only use this reply with close friends/family.)
• Reply with "Good Morning" in a foreign language, just to spice up this daily ritual greeting. Make sure to have a couple minutes to translate the words you just said, and to tell the person the language you used. example: "That means Good Morning, in French."
• Some people reply with a thank-you: "Thank you, and good morning to you, too!"

Remember, human greetings are ritualized communications. Most times, it is so inbred that people don't even think about what they are saying. They greet strangers everywhere with the same, mostly devoid of emotion, "Good morning" or "Morning!" etc. They often don't expect anything more than a matching reply: "Good morning!"
