Irish Lingo

Here's some Irish lingo I've learned over the past two weeks! I just thought it would be interesting to post!

Slagging = bullying 

Rasher/Ratior (sp?) = bacon from a pig's butt

Gorgeous = how they describe a delicious food. ex: "This tea is absolutely gorgeous!"

Delicious = how they describe something pretty ex: "Sara, your dress is just delicious!"

Grand = okay or great

Coach = the bus

Bold = bad student ex: "Johnny was being bold today in English."

Quid = buck, kind of like how we substitute saying 20 dollars for 20 bucks

Lift = Elevator

Copy (as a noun, not a verb) = notebook

Estate = neighborhood

Mobile (pronounced with a long i) = cell phone

Loo = restroom

Regg = classroom roster

Biscuit = cookie

Queue (sp?) = a line
