I’m a dublin man and a very proud one at that.

The other day I was talking and I used the phrase “we do be though don’t’n’t we not”

Some dublin snob, probably a west Brit pulled me up on it and started slagging the way I speak so I gave her a box in the jaw.

Is there any other unique and regional things other fabbers say that only your kind of people say and understand?

That's not dialect as such though, just an inability to be upfront, pretty sure that's a nationwide characteristic

It's particularly prominent with Corkonians though, you get all these 'I might come, I might not' or 'if the weather is good I might have a cup of tea'. Straight conclusive answers are not their strength.

Again, I'd have to doubt that it's any different elsewhere. Perhaps I need to travel to Cork for some in-depth research on the locals

There is no "yeah" or "no" in Irish, so you repeat the question back to say yes or no. "I will, I do, I am, I can" for yes, and "I wont, I don't, I am not, I can not" for no.

We are the least common people in the world to say "yes" or "no", and that results in a sarcastic "yes" being "I will yeah".

It's like "does be/do be" is a tense in irish but not in English. "He does be going mad", people outside ireland dont really understand that.

Also I think its universal in Ireland but "gives out", as in "I was giving out to the children".. my english friends dont understand that.

Waterford

We have a few in Waterford alright

A shellakybooky is a snail, but I've also heard the word used to refer to someone who is scared.

Cant is a word we use if someone looses a football by kicking it too hard (He canted the ball).

If something is bad we say it's cat.

If you stand in front of somebody watching the tele they might ask you, "Were you made in the glass factory?"

And of course we say 'boy' or 'girl' at the end of every sentence boy.

You've just reminded me of something I haven't heard in decades "cat melodeon" - anyone familiar with this?

your imagination

I love language, and accents and dialects are wonderfully expressive and varied from one place to the next...

But even I struggle to understand the Wexford town accent! Combine it with an idiosyncratic dialect and you may as well be in another country

Areet der sahhhn? = Hello chum

Quare deadly = rather good

A hape = An unknown quantity

A haaaaaaape = a larger unknown quantity

Yerwan/yerman = him/her over there

Ate = eat something or rebuke someone

Oh.. And every question ends with 'eh'

Did ya ride yerwan eh?

Do ya want salt on yer chips eh?

Are ya goin to ate that eh?

Did yer ma ate ya for taken dat hape a cans eh?

And let's not forget that everyone is called 'hun'
