Greatest Wikipedia Page Ever - Hiberno-English

speedboatchase

I don't even know where to start, so many quotable lines and an entire section to describe getting hammered ("full as a gypsy's tit), a few highlights:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiberno-English

"Geebag - Disreputable person, akin to bastard. "She's a total geebag." Less offensive than using gee (hard G sound) as a standalone word where gee would refer to female genitalia and would if spoken vociferously , mean "****". "

"Shift - to kiss, generally with tongues. Used mainly by youths. "Did ya shift her?" "

"Would youse ever get yezzer shoes on?"

I brought some cash in case I saw a bargain, and my credit card 'to be sure to be sure'.

In old Dubliner slang, "to feck' is also slang for "to steal", as in the phrase, "We went to the orchard and fecked some apples." It can also mean, "to throw", especially if something is being thrown where it should not, as in "We fecked his schoolbag into the river."

Shame they removed most of the Skanger article.
