The closest thread I could find for what I'm about to talk shite about.

People who say 'chimley' instead of 'chimney'. I think it's a Belfast thing though. A boy in work was talking about his chimney, the last few days and constantly referred to it as a 'chimley'. He isn't a spastic or anything but it's one word that he can't say.

Have a listen to this:

What the deal with that? A bit like 'frunyel'.

My wife says 'chimley'. Claims it's old Belfast.

"Chimley" was used in East Mayo also and given the distance between Mayo and Belfast, I 'd imagine that it must have been widely used throughout the country, or at least the northern half of it.

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?

Joephis instead of Joseph
or Buck eegyet (sp)

Joephis for Joseph is one widely used by Dublin kids. I never heard a grown up use this particular one but there are loads of mispronunciations that Dubs young and old frequently come out with.
'Crips' (crisps) is a popular one and so is 'hopsital' for hospital.
Also you may see people on The Hill standing for the National Antrim or go take your alstation for a walk.
