Review
'Murphy and O'Dea's several publications are mainly for laddish amusement. Still, Freud thought a culture expressed itself most seriously in its jokes, and it would not be unfair to suggest that the coarse side of Irish culture is now the dominant side.' -- Sunday Independent Living 'The Celtic poets, patriots and revivalists might take as a contemporary text today the popular compendium The Feckin' Book of Everything Irish, by Colin Murphy and Donal O'Dea, being part of a series of entertaining publications featuring "genuine Irish -- Sunday Independent Living

Format:Hardcover
I gave this as a table present at Christmas and he loved it... very good read and lots to laugh at... I would thoroughly recommend this as a purchase.
Format:Hardcover
Bought this book for myself, found it really funny so got my dad a copy as well. You grow up with a lot of these quotes and sayings but never quite know what they mean or where they come from, so this book is good for making sense of and having a laugh about all those things... Has the words to those songs you never quite understood, as they were always mumbled drunkedly in the pub late in the evening. It means you can now sing along with the best of them...
Format:Hardcover
This book is funny in places, but has too many so called Irish expressions which I have never heard an Irish person say; having had an Irish mother and loads of Irish relatives; but if anyone doesn't understand what Irish people are saying, the book could come in handy.
