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'!

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.

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.
