We also have the term "mink" or "minker" in Sligo. Never heard it elsewhere. Not complimentary!

mink would be a real ballina one as well mink (sc**bag), never heard minker just mink we also have  buer (female), fiend (male fool,ass) i think both of these would be general west coast traveler words as far as i recall  the writer kevin barry used them in ''the city of  Bohane'. wha hu (hello) i have only ever heard in ballina

This is a great one. Only heard it in Ballina and most of Mayo have never heard it at all.

[Farrandeelin]

Buff is commonly used in Ballina to describe a person not from the town. As in ya big Knockmore/Ardagh/Bonniconlon buff ya.

The derogatory term rig would be kinda like that out our way...'see yon feen over der, f**k he's son rig'.

[Lar Naparka]

I've never heard it as bad as the Tipp lads. Up home it would be two or three byes.

Das right, Tipp heads would wreck yer heads with their bye, bye, byes and also saying das right when they agree with you.

[AZOffaly]

And 'some yoke'. Also a Tipp thing. To describe a fella as 'good'. See that Seamie Callanan? He's some yoke.

Just thought I'd revive this one:

East Tyrone down by the loughshore:

Kid
'alright kid' when saying hello to another male

A very old school Dundalk greeting as well, might even be a current Dundalk expression.
20 years since I lived there!

Hi placed at the end of every greeting, statement and farewell would be very South Monaghan , North West Louth as well, hi.

Ardee, hi from thon neck of the woods.

Youns Boys common in Co Derry, parts of north Antrim.

Chap as in 'OK Chap' a South Derryism.

Wha Hu started out as grá thu and originated from the fishermen/docker cottages that were in Bohernasop (the original Ballina guntown back in the day!!) . Buer is a (traveller) cant term for a good looking girl.

Wasn't das right one of the main lines from d'unbelievables ?

[Hardy]

Das right.

Certainly the eastern part of Tyrone, a young lady is a 'blade'. 'Our blade' would be my sister for example.

The further you go west in Tyrone towards Omagh blade becomes 'cuddy'

Yeah. Cubs for young men and cutty for a girl. Generally for describing adolescents or children.

[Gmac]

Auld stock heard in lots of places

[ONeill]

Cuttin?
Cuttin rightly?
Are ye rightly?

[ONeill]

Unrelated, but fresh in my mind. The Tipperary habit of saying 'Byebyebyebyebyebyebyebye' when finishing a phone call. I'm just after giving an hour ringing around to coaches in the club, and to a man, they all hang up with this Byebyebyebyebyebyebye thing. It cracks me up. The worst I've heard before is like 'OK so grand, good luck, bye, bye, bye'. Down here the byebyebye can be longer than the call

Every buckin county does that.
