    The Quare wan'.

    I hear ould fellas refer to some women as the quare wan'.

    What actually constitutes a quare wan?
    -Is she a lesbo?
    -Is she a slut?
    -Is she crazy in the coconut?
    -Is she all of the above?

    It means your wife/girlfriend. Your mother is your ould queen. You hear it a lot in Galway.

    After a fart - Get out and walk.

    (this one put me in tears of laughter one time...maybe its just me)

    Special mention - Hozanna in the hiiiIIiii-ace (friend said this at about 12 y.o ...since then every time ive been in a church and heard the whole congregation singing along ive had to leave before someone mistakes my tears of laughter for something else and tries to comfort me) (picturing some skanger called Hozanna in a hi-ace van with a breakfast roll) (yea ..weird s.o.h)
