On A Positive Note...
I thought that I should give you some of the really cool idioms that people really do use!!!
Boreen - A small road or lane that is an offshoot to the main road. These are usually wide enough for only one car but meant to be for two-way traffic.
Eejit - A fool
Blow-in - This is a really common term (usually negative) to describe someone that has moved into the area and has no family ties. The idea is that the wind has blown them in and that as soon as the wind changes they will blow away to another community.
Craic - Pronounced "crack". It is not a highly addictive narcotic, but rather means a good laugh or a good time. A common way to use it would be: "The craic was mighty last night!" or "Any craic with you?".
Yous - This term is mainly used in the north. It is you plural.
Ye - This is our favorite. It is the everyday word used to address more than one person. The Irish "ya'll" if you will. It is used in different areas of the country.
