I was reading a post on a website when I ran into this title.
How's about ye? is a very, very Nor'n Iron expression with which I am sure The Great Panjandrum is regularly greeted by his kith and kin.

I don't know what it means and that is okay, but I only want to know what Nor'n is short for in Nor'n Iron?
"Nor'n Iron" refers to Northern Ireland speech.
- Contraction of Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland said in the Ulster dialect sounds like Norn Iron and therefore evolved into a Northern Irish saying.
