: I am looking for the meaning of Top o' the morning to you. Can someone help? Thanks!

After waiting for someone with a better reference library than mine to step forward, I'll fill the gap, though with no particular expertise. My understanding is that "Top o' the morning to you" is a traditional Irish greeting, the equivalent of "Good morning" but more exuberant.
