Here are a few of the little sayings or pronounciations of words that are said back home (just in case you visit someday)
"What about ye big mawn, what are ye at the day?" Translates as: How are you? Are you doing anything interesting this fine day?"Fancy a wee pint down the bar, or do ya wanna go till the Offies for a carry out?"
