It's St. Patrick's Day, which means people will get "rama-lama-ding-donged" and "fallen of the yak" all day.

Those are just two of the terms the Irish use for the word "drunk," according to Irish actor Jamie Dornan.

Sitting in a pub with a beer in hand for a segment on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the "Fifty Shades Darker" star began to recite common-used words like"hammered, intoxicated, inebriated, rat-arsed, bladdered, destroyed," but they quickly got more and more ridiculous as the list went on.

"Trollied, away with the fairies, squiffy, three sheets to the wind," he continued. Even the actor couldn't keep himself from cracking up when reciting terms like "fanny-packed," "f—ing the waitress" and "steam-pigged."

And of course, at the end of the video, Dornan downed his beer like the true Irishman he is.

"Fifty Shades Darker" opened in February and grossed $113.5 million domestically since. It is the second movie in the "Fifty Shades" franchise, with the third movie, "Fifty Shades Freed," hitting theaters next year around Valentine's Day.

"Fifty Shades of Grey," in which Dornan first played the troubled Christian Grey, became a global phenomenon as it grossed $571 million worldwide.
