I know I have mentioned Irish phrases and words on here before, but I thought I would try to give a more comprehensive Anglo-Irish list. Here we go.
Stripey - striped. As in, "this shirt is stripey."
Slippy - slippery.
Gas - funny.
Craic - fun.
Holiday - vacation.
Gorg - short for gorgeous. So..."Patrick Dempsey is gorg."
Lashing - raining hard. Another term for this is wallashing, though that is only used by Colleen.
Grand - apparently I have been using this wrong. It means alright, not great.
Cheers - thanks. As hard as I try, I can't pull this off without sounding over enthusiastic.
Class- great. "Clay Aiken is class."
Your man/your one - a person you are talking about. "Your man went to the store yesterday."
Biscuits - all cookies without chocolate chips. I know, it's odd.
