Cat's lick and a promise
Heard in Waterford
Make-shift clean up, usually with a hanky and a bit of spit, and the hope that it will pass muster.
Look at ya, you're filty. Tis too late to go home, come 'ere till I give ya a cat's lick and a promise.
Gracious, you are positively begrimed. It is too late for home; come hither until I perform a feline tongue ablution and a vow of better to come.
