Sean Beecher was a Corkman very much dedicated to his native city. For many years he delved deeply into its character, history and, not least, its unique vernacular. This book reflects the intimate knowledge he had of his city, its people and their colourful colloquialisms.

The Irish Times 'A gem of a glossary' Evening Echo 'Has an exotic individuality,' Irish Examiner 'An affectionate look at Cork and its people.' Jrnal Cork Hist. & Arch. Society
