I haves d'owl book meself and it contains a selection of the slang from slang.ie, looks like a huge amount of work went into it and the slang attributed to each county is pretty accurate.

OK we all know about nobber and muff but who new there was a Canawee in cork and a legwee in Cavan or a Ringrash in Derry for that matter! Hugh Jay das a great blog me boyo!
