They say "quare" in Armagh as well.

[AZOffaly]

A lot of them are said around the midlands as well, especially the 'may'.

Another one is savage. As in good. That was savage.

Woejeous as in bad.

Some hero. As in a buck eejit.

buck eejit.

Around Tyrone-'Thon', as in, "Luk at thon!", or " luk at the head on thon blade!", which reminds me of 'blade' for the fairer sex-not necessarily derogatory.  'Your blade' for your sister is quite acceptable as is 'the oul blade' for your mother.  Don't know it's origins.

In Limerick they use the word 'gowl' as in 'He's some gowl, that fella' or 'Get away, you gowl!' 
Cuts to the bone.

They say "quare" in Armagh as well.

And Tyrone, and Donegal.

Can any of our Western correspondents confirm this?

Someone was telling me tonight that when you ask a Connacht person "how are ya?" you can get "I'm quare well" in reply. Not only that, but since Weshterners have a habit of adding "well" to the end of a sentence for emphasis, you can be told "I'm quare well, well".

Solid useless.

[Seamroga in exile]

Clean shite.

Never heard that saying, "doing grand any craic with yourself" is a more common reply in Connacht.

Never heard of that. 'Grand','sound' or 'not too bad' would be the usual replies.

'Mighty' is a word us Mayo folks are mighty fond of using while no self-respecting Dub will proceed very far without tagging a 'rioght' at the end of a sentence.
The rioght here is an interrogative and kinda means did youse comprehend that, me oul' segotia?  So watch out for something like:
"When you get to the roundabout, ya turn left, rioght? Keep going and ya take the second right, rioght? "
Mighty hard to follow them betimes.
