Words and phrases that are more commonly used on tfk than in real life

I have heard a lot of folk say in Limk ā€œgone out to Killaloeā€, back to Glin, Foynes, Newcaste etc
down to Dingle, out to Cappamore, Murroe, Annacotty, where the person saying it is Mungret based !

My old Accountancy teacher, Eddie Fallon, used often reference Strawmen or Men of Straw in terms of financial litigation. Basically, you canā€™t get something out of someone who ainā€™t got anything.

Did he teach the well known accounting principle that if your mother sends you down to the shop with 50p you canā€™t get a poundā€™s worth of goods?
