Product Description

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars This bleedin' books feckin' hillarious, 4 May 2006
By Jennifer Byrne (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Feckin' Brilliant, 29 April 2009
By Donal O'Dea (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
