'rafter' is Dublinese for see you later cos we don't say "see you later", we say "see you after" which with a Dublin accent sounds like "see you rafter" which we abbreviate to "rafter".

See? It's charming really and you love it.

It's about as annoying as "sent from my iPhone" at the end of emails.

You sir,
are easily annoyed - can I recommend alcohol?

We say "see yer after" here too.
A lot of people don't get how 'after' means later.
