Publisher's Synopsis

We Irish have enriched the English language with a slew of snazzy gems. Did you know we're the ones behind quarks, electrons and vectors, Sudocrem and Wellington boots? No surprise that we invented begrudgery, but croquet and didgeridoos were us too! So if some yahoo is getting on your nerves, don't box him in the gob - hit him with Irishisms galore, and you'll soon put the kibosh on his hubbub. Y'dig? Written and illustrated by Colin Murphy and Donal O'Dea, the craggy old blokes behind the bestselling Feckin' Collection and Stuff Irish People Love.
