Product Description
There's been a rule of thumb in Ireland the last thousand years - if it's something you enjoy, it's a sin. And if it's anything to do with SEX, it's a mortal sin. Here, in one uncensored package, is everything you've ever wanted to know about sex and love in Ireland but were afraid to ask for fear of a clatter on the ear - Abstinence, Confession, Clingfilm, Croke Park, the Ballybunion Bachelor Festival ... what more could you ask? Find out who shouldn't have, but did; why there were lots of 'fallen women' but no 'fallen men'; and the extreme measures taken to stop us thinking about our wobbly bits and return to singing about the Famine.

Br-r-r-r-r-illiant Blooming Brilliant 'Exactly what it says on the tin' - I have bought 5 of this feckin' collection for Christmas - I have had a sneak glimpse through them as I intend to wrapped them in plain brown paper and put a number on each one. I have put corresponding numbers inside each of 5 Christmas Crackers - and you guessed it!!!
I Know we will have a wonderful giggly Christmas Afternoon.

Since I ordered the whole 'feckin' collection, this was the second one I read. I rather enjoyed it more than the second book of slang. It explains in alphabetical order, phrases and words used in regard to the act of lovemaking and/or sex in Ireland, all of Ireland including the North that is. The humor flows throughout the entire book and if you are Irish you'll enjoy it more and oh the memories that will come flooding back. If you aren't Irish you'll enjoy it too!
cute and quirky
