    Is that a Cork thing or does it extend outside of here?

    I've a friend from france and she uses it all the time. I worry that no one will know what she is talking about. She's pure corkonian now like.

    How would we know, we're from Cork, the only time we leave is to go to Costa Del Sol and meet up with other Cork people. We wouldn't be caught dead associating with people NOT from Cork! The Great Unwashed!

    Reverese comparisons: how bad like (clearly drop the like to remove cork slang)
    its pretty much "things could be worse"

    In extensive use in Limerick as well.

    Ye invented it fair enough, but we were totally entitled to steal it after ye stole 'gowl' from us.

    Damn Cork speak.

    I spent a summer down there when I was a young fella.
    Every so often I'd bump into some teenage girls,
    who'd for no apparant reason call me a 'fleadh'???

    I was havin none of this random abuse and responed each time with a raised index finger,
    before I stormed off in a huff....

    Oh the fun I could have had...:(
