Who Gives a Focal?: A Hundred Words and Phrases Ireland Gave the English Language

English

By (author): Colin Murphy Donal O'Dea

We Irish have enriched the English language with a slew of snazzy gems. Did you know were the ones behind quarks, electrons and vectors, Sudocrem and Wellington boots? No surprise that we invented begrudgery, but croquet and Wunderkind were us too! So if some yahoo is getting on your nerves, dont box him in the gob hit him with Irishisms galore, and youll soon put the kibosh on his shaninagans. Ydig?

Written and illustrated by Colin Murphy and Donal O'Dea, the craggy old blokes behind the bestselling Feckin' Collection and Stuff Irish People Love.
