The archaic and/or regional slang thread

Limerick/West Limerick slang

Mush is a pure West Limerick word, mainly around Askeaton/Rathkeale area

‘sconce’ - Keep a sconce out there a second (Keep a look out)

A muggy boy/Innocent boy/dirty innocent boy/clever boy/dacent boy - All meaning a youngfella who might be a bit innocent/goodie two shoes/squealer/not one of “the boys”. All widely used around NCW.

John - Another NCW word, townies and wannabe townies use it for any male ie; 'Well John, hows tricks?!" even if the lads name is Mikey.

Country fellas just use ‘boy’ or ‘lad’. No fussy stuff. “Well lad, whats the story?” or “Hows things boy?!”

Another NCW one is “Gatt” meaning drink/alcohol.

Another feature of the NCW slang is sticking ‘Will you’ into a sentence twice; “Will you go waaay John will you, you dirty innocent boy”.

‘A rev of liqour’ is a good country one for a good session.

A rake or pile are also used.
