Wannabe belfasties around Lurgan/Portadown say mate
Most others say chief
Seemingly all of Tyrone says lad
Letterkenny I think say sham

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

That's a nationwide thing I would have thought?

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

Lala in Limerick. The La is pronounced as in Lab, as opposed to Law

McCooey's love to talk about culchies as a derogative term.

Thought that term originated in Tuam, cradle of alt. language for the archdiocese and indeed all of Connacht .

Just thought I'd revive this one:

East Tyrone down by the loughshore:

Kid
'alright kid' when saying hello to another male
