Pronounce It "Eye-Ree."

"Irie" Means To Be At Peace.

No Worries.

In Jamaican Patois, Irie Means "Alright."

According To Wikipedia, Irie Can Also Mean:

Powerful and Pleasing...

Excellent...

Highest...

A State of Feeling Great.

The Term Is Commonly Used In Rastafari, An Abrahamic Belief System Which Originated in Jamaica In 1930.

Bob Marley and Peter Tosh Were Followers Of Rastafari.

Rastafarians Use Cannibis For Spiritual Purposes, and They Reject Materialism, Poverty, Oppression, and Sensual Pleasures, Which They Refer To As "Babylon."

Lest I "Babble On," Allow Me To Present the Following Original Song, Entitled "Irie," and Dedicated To My Jamaican Brothers and Sisters.
