Learn the lingo

Click here to open the dictionaryLet me guess - you’ve arrived in Belfast on either an ill-advised jaunt to soak up a bit of the "craic", a tiresome quest to find the drinking hole frequented by your Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather, or an anthropological field-trip right to the heart of "the troubles".

Well that’s all very well and good, but your enjoyment may be dulled slightly by the fact that you have difficulty understanding anything anyone says!

If you should find yourself in this all too common position, then let us present the motley crue of Divis Towers and Orange Terrace who will introduce you to some of the more common phrases (very common actually!) you’ll encounter.

In order to make sense of it all, help is at hand in the form of Sir Antlebury Smeethly-Waringbrook of Beebshire, who shall transform the witless witterings of the gang into perfect and palatable English.

So what are you waiting for? Get crackin' me ould mucker and gen up on the local lingo in the "Give My Head Peace" Dictionary.
