Emm I can giv ya the Donegal slang
We put hey and hi at the start and end of a lot of sentances.
We say "wee" an awful lot. As in a wee cup of tea.
We also say "wile" instead of very or terrible "it's while bad day."
I call something "class" if it's great.
Aye is used instead of yes and sometimes repeated when someones talkin to ya!!
A buck is a guy.
A windy is a window.
We call our dad the "Aul Boy" and our mums "the aul doll" and the two of them are the "aul pair".
Pure means very.
Rare means strange or unusual.
If someones being Tight their being cruel.
We call babies or children "Weins."
"yes" can mean hello and so can "Well lad" or "well boy" to a man or woman!
"Glack" means goodluck or goodbye.
