Product Description

Book Description

Tell her Ladyship, "Hell or Holyhead!"

"A mean, miserable, beggarly town. And since they got the sugar factory there's no standing them."

"What a site! What an opportunity! Alas!"

"D'you mean we're getting food with our meals today?"

Are the Irish the world's champion insulters? Few nations could assemble such a variety of lethal weapons of word and wit as are presented in this collection.

From the earliest days, when strong warriors trembled before the satirical bard, the art of insult has been employed in Ireland with devastating effect. And the tradition shows no sign of weakening. The wit and humour that give a good insult its edge live on long after the cause is forgotten. Gathered here, they provide a feast of entertainment,a considerable insight into the Irish character, and an excellent source of inspiration if you can't think up a good one yourself!
