Product Description
This is the almost incomprehensible wit and wonder of Irish slang words. Can you tell your bowsies from your gougers from your gurriers? No? Well, it's time to stop acting the maggot and find out, courtesy of this invaluable reference book that's been donkey's years in the making, (only coddin'). It's absolutely jammers with nouns, verbs and sayings that didn't quite make the "Oxford Dictionary", including a few manky ones that are guaranteed to leave some oul' wans and Holy Joes completely morto. On the other hand, slappers and sleeveens will be dying for a gawk. So, feck it, you just know this is one book any self-respecting cute hoor just can't do without!

This bleedin' books feckin' hillarious,
By
This review is from: The Book of Feckin' Irish Slang That's Great Craic for Cute Hoors and Bowsies (Feckin' Collection) (Hardcover)
If your Irish, this book will have you rolling around the floor in stitches in complete recognition of every single Irish slang phrase you are ever likely to have used or heard in your daily routines from the time you were a nipper. If you are not Irish, it may not make much sense but the beauty of this book is that it reads like a dictionary so you are completely at one with the Irish slang vocabulary by the time you finish this read (and will actually understand what Colin Farrell is talking about now). I would actually recommend this book be filed under Travel Guides for Ireland - a must buy for absolutely everyone who wants a good ol' laugh and a bit of an education in reality in Ireland

This review is from: The Book of Feckin' Irish Slang That's Great Craic for Cute Hoors and Bowsies (Feckin' Collection) (Hardcover)
This is a great little book on how the Irish really speak. No shamrocks or leprecans this book will have you in stitches. Great gift to give someone who's about to visit Ireland. It's written like a dictionary, but doesn't read like one.

Deadly!,
By Irish Flair - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Book of Feckin' Irish Slang That's Great Craic for Cute Hoors and Bowsies (Feckin' Collection) (Hardcover)
Unable to tell if you're shattered, gammy or manky?
Not sure if you're fluthered, langered or bollixed? If not (or if you *think* you know), then this book is for you! This funny little book describes all sorts of nouns, verbs, adjectives, sayings and expressions used by the Irish today, aided by witty cartoon figures. Each word is defined and an example given of how to use it. For example: JAR (n) Pint of beer or stout. (usage "I'm dying for a jar. The court will adjourn until 2pm.") If you know anything about Ireland and her way of life the entries are that much more amusing but a newbie to Ireland's culture will be able to follow along and enjoy just as easily. The book is small, about 4" wide by 7" tall and has 2 or 3 entries per page, 64 pages total, which makes for a quick, light read. Some of the language, subjects and drawings are not for delicate eyes but overall it's harmless fun; and you just may learn a thing or two about how to talk or at least try to understand what some cute hoor is blatherin' on about. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Not for tourists,
By Hot Cookie "Yes, Chef!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The 2nd Book of Feckin' Irish Slang That'll Make a Holy Show of the First One (Feckin' Collection) (Hardcover)
Not having read the "first one" this book is filled with slang you've probably used yourself and know the meaning of. At least if you are Irish and from Boston that is. Nicely explained what the word means, and in some cases entirely different meaning than you first thought. Written with a craic wit you will be left amused, but if you aren't living in Ireland and among the locals it has no more use than a man trying to make a gourmet dinner on a dollar. Definitely NOT for tourists going to Ireland. You'll find yourself in the nick or worse a row in no time at all.
