Many moons ago when St Pats Cavan played Abbey, I thought they were a blood thirsty team shouting Kill, Kill, Kill.

It was Cahill or maybe Cathal.  Still don't know.

FINIKEE - FINA HEE

BALLICKS as opposed to baal oochs

One of the Tyrone lads used this phrase on one of the Iris threads...

Chancey Blade


Met a few in my time and I'd say Iris would definitely fall into that category :D

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..

Same sort of thing going on with Drogheda which the ones in Central Station, Belfast keep calling Drock-hada. Mind, they're also still referring to a train going to two cities for the price of one - London Derry  ::)

In east Derry, there is a word "roddin" used to describe a wee disused country lane, usually one through a wood or forest.  Is it used elsewhere in the country (with the exception of the Lockkeeper's Inn I might add)?
To find his equal an Irishman is forced to talk to God!

Scundered means embarressed to me. Never heard it used any other way.

Scundered

To me I would think it means alcohol refreshed.

Same as myself

Means "fed up" where I come from, although some belfast friends use it to mean "embarrassed".
