Post Your Local Dictionary, fawksakeleik
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.
Here is an A-Z of the Belfast language. If you wish to orally practice saying it out loud I'd advise you invest in a monitor spit-guard.
