[Cuchulainn]

Hello Ladies & Stuff,

It has come to my attention, increasingly so over these last years, that I speak a form of English alien to anyone outside the cliffs of Ireland. If that was not enough, being from Belfast, I tend to speak it at 60 miles per second. In meeting my wifes family & laughing at their puzzled expressions trying to make out a single word. I thought, as this is multi national & multi regional, it would be a good idea to post your localk dictionary. Words very few others use outside your spit ridden city walls.

Heh, McCooey Cuchulainn. You forgot yer man meaning someone whose name cannot be remembered at the moment.

[Rye]

Wow, when it comes to my town, only one vocabulary word used by most people here comes to mind, and it's "gay" as an insult. *rolls eyes*

[Lost Number]

Oh yes, and the word McCooey means someone from Belfast. In Ballycastle it is used frequently before B*****ds against the local McCooey population who have brought the Belfast art of theft, stealing and burning cars and rioting to Ballycastle. Oh yes, the word gansey, meaning jumper. comes from irish.
