You might be right, Tthought it was from the West as I have only heard it out of Mayo, Galway and Roscommon people. I have used it on front of Cork and Dublin friends and they where shocked.

Or a Mayo teams performace on A.I. Day just after you thought the problems had been sorted.

Came to mind when I couldn't watch the Mayo - Meath game this year in Australia because Setanta where showing the bloody Charity Shield. Came to mind again when I was actually listening the game on MWR on the Internet,

I've heard the "Charliss" thing all over the country. I'd even say the majority of the older generation say it that way. The same as they add an extra syllable to a lot of words with an 'r' followed by a consonant: worrem for worm, arum for arm and wordled for world.

I've heard people pronounce Charlestown as Char-liss-town.

Sligonian even pronounces it Bellaghy, Co. Sligo.

The foreign guys at work tell me that internationally your toe is actually called your 'leg finger'. Apparently everyone has 20 fingers (10 hand fingers and 10 leg fingers) in the many languages they talk. I had some laugh learning that. They had some laugh learning we have a separate word for it

Said in Belfast too.

Has anyone mentioned the name Cathal? Which for some reason Belfast people say it as 'Cackill' ... a bit of a Planter thing that - all hard consonants - just as for country people it's The Garvaghy (garvahee) Road but for the 'Jaffas' as Tony would call them, it is Garvakkee..
