Hang on, you're from the northside and you didn't know what gee meant until you heard DOB say it? Something doesn't quite add up there!

It wasn't widely used in my family-we tend to say 'fanny', 'tuppence' or "cookie" for some bizarre reason.
Back on topic, my grandmother's quite fond of saying "Ye whore's mouth!", though she prounces 'Whore' as "Hoo-err".

Good times!

I never really took to saying **** that much but I'm constantly sneaking the odd "feck" into my day-to-day conversations.
Also, "eejit" is grossly under-used these days.

other words for gee - ''the axe wound'' or ''the badly arranged kebab''

I was curious about Hiberno English slang earlier today and, unsurprisingly, it seems wikipedia covers it fairly extensively
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary_of_Hiberno-English_slang_and_jargon

So my question was, do you use any other slang that isn't on that list? Maybe slang that is personal to your local area, or even your family, since it sometimes seem that families have their own colloquialisms.

In my own case, we grew up calling fish snoggers, presumably because of their facial expressions. 'Goolies' was what we called a man's dick and 'the grip' is a word for the flu.

A "hames" is a mess in many parts of rural Ireland, and a "miog" (pronounced mig?) is a whisper, as in "I don't want to hear a miog from you"

So AH, any unusual slang words and maybe their etymology as well, if you know it?

galwayrush
