Top Ten
I can't possibly hope to compete with the kudos of yesterday's post, but, inspired by Bricotrout I decided to have a go at a Top Ten list of my own.
Top Ten Words I Am Going To Use in Everyday Speech So that People Know I'm Irish
1. Banjaxed- as in 'my first and second computer monitors were _ '
2. Culchie- as in 'you don't want to listen to him, he's a right culchie'
3. Muck savage- very similar to #2
4. Gobshite- as in 'George Bush is a total gobshite'
5. Wojus- as in 'Celine Dion is a wojus singer'
6. Yoke or yokemabob- as in 'it's over there beside the yoke'
7. Deadly- as in 'I've won a prize, deadly'
8. Right wan- as in 'well she's a nice lady isn't she?'
9. eejit- as in 'Simon Cowell'
10. and what list could be complete without ...Feck. can be used with any of the above words to add emphasis or on it's own in is many forms, fecking, fecker etc.
I realise that some of the examples don't actually explain the words at all, that's because I can be a git.

banjaxed is 'broken beyond repair', feel free to use it anytime!
nope, gobshite is Irish, but there is a lot of cross-over with the celtics.
