Items related to Slanguage: A Dictionary of Irish Slang
Synopsis
This dictionary lists words and phrases that Irish people actually use in the streets each day, the unofficial language of Ireland. One fourth longer than its predecessor, this expanded edition of the standard dictionary of Irish slang includes many entries not in the 1997 edition. It has dropped a few that have fallen out of favor and has revised others. It will confirm Bernard Shares invaluable book in its position as the major work of its kind, combining scholarship and a keen sense of fun. Slanguage does justice to it by taking it seriously , but not too seriously. Even if youre two foot thicker than Butt Bridge youll soon be on the pigs back, so you will, able to tell the difference between parliament whiskey and poitin when youre on the skite. Slanguage is full of information, craic and divilment and Bernard Share is your only man. Game ball!
