Don't like slang too much.

Also, Maouldy also describes someones state of inebriation.

Think of all those romantic comedys where at the end of the heartwarming speech the main protagonist (normally Hugh Grant) ended up by saying:

"Get your rat out"

Instant Improvement!

We don't say fair!!! We do say "fierce" though where a Deise-onian (what is the word for a Waterford person btw???) would say fair.

One of my favourite slang terms is the word that is apparently used on the north-side of Cork for a sausage. They supposedly call it a "widow's memory"!!!! I found it in the Cork dictionary, but have yet to find someone who actually uses it. But still, it's fierce (read "fair" if you wish :rolleyes:) funny. Imagine asking for a battered sausage!

"Filth" isn't rhyming slang. But it is good slang.;)

Never heard of that one.
Mouldy is one I have heard of which is what we use to describe bread as being gone off.

rainbowdrop

Saying something is 'savage'.

For example 'that's a savage tune' or 'look at your wan, she's savage'..... meaning very good. Is that just a Cork/Limerick thing? Or is it said everywhere?

Aboy the kid!
Tackies (runners)
Scald (tea)

Sickend ta bits
Slur
Sin

Some of the worst phrases ever conceived.

buckieburd

Fav Irish slang has to be gee, particularly geebag or gee-eyed!

From home for a girl you dont like 'Midden' or for a guy 'Bawjaws'

trout

Rizzla King

Another good one is "getting your Nat King Cole."

Or "Headin round the Battle Cruiser and get bleedin Baloobas!"

We still say it in Galway.

Better than taking on even more terms such as "snogging" from across the water.

Another one is "chav". First people in Ireland were saying it jokingly cause they heard it on d'telly. Now it's used everywhere as the norm when the word knacker would be much more effective, and linguistically elegant.
