PF1

Pronounced: pee-eff-wun. A payphone in Limerick. A real Limerick head will pronounce PF1 and payphone exactly the same. The trick is to go into a pub in Limerick and say "do you have a PF1". If they direct you to the payphone, you have just been accepted as a 100% Limerick person.

This PF1 is not wurkin'!

effort

When something is done by someone following what they think is a winning formula, but their lack of imagination and mediocrity shines through.

Her: Did you hear the new Radiohead song?
Him: Yeah, a complete effort.

Him: Did you see the new bridge over the Liffey?
Her: Yeah, what an effort.

stowaway

An uneaten item of food still in your mouth hours after you thought you'd eaten it.

Always rinse your mouth out after eating to avoid stowaways.

higher

To ask somone to think again. From the British Television game show Play Your Cards Right where contestants had to guess if the next card turned up was higher or lower than the previous card. A slow contestant with a 2 of Clubs might say "lower?" and the audience would scream "HIGHER!!".

Friend: Want to go to Mulligan's for a pint?
No. 1: Higher.
Friend: Why? They love us in Mulligan's.
No. 1: Higher, I got thrown out last night.

Punter1: How come Rath Kip keep winning the u-15 cup?

Finglasian

A native of Finglas on Dublin's north side.

Finglas was originally an old village but now is a big sprawling tough working class neighbourhood.

Finglasians have recently been moving en masse into the neighbouring county of Kildare.

Kildare used to feel really country, but now it's full of Finglasians.
