Words only the Irish use.

Gulder - To shout aggressively

He let out a gulder at the full forward because he slipped on his arse trying to take a shot.

My dad (Cork) often says 'in it right up to yer oxsters'.

[AZOffaly]

I use oxters all the time. As in  "I'm up to my oxters", meaning busy.

Grand Uncle(Derry City) always used brachán for porridge but never hear it now.

It would have been -boughil  a brachan (bowl of porridge)

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Aye oxsters common here in Derry too so it seems its widespread

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Always thought everyone said "red up" for tidy up, tidy up would hardly be used in Derry, nearly always red up used. Talking to a Belfast man recently and he had to ask me what it meant.

[deiseach]

'Cat malojan' for something really bad. Can be abbreviated to 'cat'.

[AZOffaly]

Yep. Or Woe-jous. Bull Woe-jous for something brutal altogether.

'Reddin up' would be a common term in south Armagh and south up. Used for such things like shovelling sh1t from the byre every night after the cows had been milked.

In this part of the world doing "the redding up" means milking the cows.

Edit: Along the same lines Orior.

Yep, we had 'cat malogen' in Mayo also so the term seems to have been widespread. It could be shortened to 'cat' alright also but 'pure cat' was the epitome of badness.

I always assumed it was 'melodeon' - the musical instrument which is often pronounced 'malojan' by Irish people. A melodeon being a vaguely ludicrous type of a yoke, I suppose.

Anyone ever hear the expression 'mahogany gas pipe'? For some reason, it used to be said as a supposedly comical expression in Irish by people who didn't speak Irish - 'sea, ní hea, mahogany gas pipe'.

I think it originated with Flann OBrien, Hardy. There was a restaurant in Dunlin in the early 90s called Mahogany gaspipe.
