Words only the Irish use.

[WhoAreYaWhoAreYa!]

i think  'Quare' stands alone i nthis thread, as a uniquely irish word. a couple years back Ray D'arcy had a phone-in on the radio, to find a uniquely irish word, and the best or most popular would be put into a new dictionary or something. i rang and rang but never got in, asuming Quare would be the chosen word, i was in disbeleief, when 'langer' was chosen.

This has probably been posted before but if a fella said he's after some pussy tonight he'd mean he's after a woman to have sex with.

A few picked up from my time in Mayo...

Molly Hick - "Look at you all Molly Hick" You are dressed in really rough looking clothes or you are wearing stuff that is completely uncordinated. [I'm not 100% how to explain this one. Maybe one of the Mayo folks can correct me if I'm wrong]
Meithering - "Stop meithering me" Stop wrecking my head

From a Belfast lad I used to work with
Scram - "Going for some scram" Going for some food

From my family in Limerick
Faith - "Oh Faith?" Oh really?

Funny you brought this up as I thought of one today.

"Doing the dell dell" meaning to go mad about something. No idea of the spelling, where it comes from or if it is widely used or not.

You're just making things up now.
