Which is the correct phrase, is it "Living the life of Ryan" or "Living the life of Reilly"?
ive heard it both ways. i know it means, living the easy life, no worries. but both people insist they are right. some people never heard this expression, so i cant get astraight answer and i know one of the two sounds realy stupid if its wrong, so i dnt want ot use it unless its right

Another vote for Reilly - I watched the TV show "The Life of Reilly" when I was young - in the 50's - William Bendix was Reilly. The title means he had a real easy life. Normally people will say it when they are teasing someone - or - trying to get some lazy person to get going! Like: "Boy, don't you have the life of Reilly?" Jealousy, perhaps.
