Overview

Sure, you have a soft spot in your heart for the Emerald Isle: you drink your Guinness fresh-pulled and tepid, you wear the green on St. Patrick's Day, and you get all choked up when you hear the chorus of "Danny Boy." But there's more to Irish culture than just shamrocks and leprechauns and getting bullixed and acting like a eejit on St. Paddie's Day. If you're ready to expand your knowledge and take the next step to becoming a 100 percent, bona-fide Irish person, then this is the book for you, boyo.

The Feckin' Book of Everything Irish is a rollicking, no-holds-barred tour of genuine Irish culture as experienced through its music and food and, especially, its unique way with words. The four chapters in this book are veritably heavin' with Irish slang worlds and phrases, quotes by famous Irish wits, rousing Irish songs for your next hooley, and authentic recipes that'll make yer oul' wan proud. We've also included a brief history of sex and love in Ireland, which goes a long way toward explaining why the Irish have such a feckin' wicked sense of humor.

So don't just stand there like a cow looking over a whitewashed wall, get to readin'! You'll be arseways with laughter in no time.

Colin Murphy is the co-author of a series of seven successful books on aspects of Irish culture, and, as someone with a head like a lump of wet turf, is well versed in the vast range of expressions and slang words used the length and breadth of Ireland. He has great experience with Irish food, as he's been eating it since the day he was born, and he knows the lyrics of hundreds of Irish tunes backwards. In fact, when he sings them, it sounds like he's singing them backwards, too. He is fascinated with the study of sex in the middle ages, as he's in his forties himself. He works in the advertising industry, where he has developed a powerful reputation as someone who'd lick drink off a scabby leg. He is married to a fine bit of stuff and has two little gurriers who'd put the heart crossways in ye.

Donal O'Dea is also the co-author of a series of seven successful books on Irish culture. He is regularly as sick as a plane to Lourdes, mainly because he has a great lip for the stout. He, too, works as an artist in advertising, though to his colleagues he's only a doss artist. He considers himself an expert on many aspects of Irish culture—music, food, sex and love, expressions, getting plastered, getting fluthered, getting paralytic, getting ossified, and getting langered. He's also a Dub and his missus is completely savage. He's got two snappers and a little bucko, and whenever he gets a night's sleep, he dreams of living the life of Reilly, throwin' shapes, and going on all-day sessions.

Preface

Sure, you have a soft spot in your heart for the Emerald Isle: you drink your Guinness fresh-pulled and tepid, you wear the green on St. Patrick's Day, and you get all choked up when you hear the chorus of "Danny Boy." But there's more to Irish culture than just shamrocks and leprechauns and getting bollixed and acting like an eejit on St. Paddie's Day. If you're ready to expand your knowledge and take the next step to becoming a 100 percent, bona-fide Irish person, then this is the book for you, boyo.

The Feckin' Book of Everything Irish is a rollicking, no-holds-barred tour of genuine Irish culture as experienced through its music and food and, especially, its unique way with words. The four chapters in this book are veritably heavin' with Irish slang words and phrases, quotes by famous Irish wits, rousing Irish songs for your next hooley, and authentic recipes that'll make yer oul' won proud. We've also included a breif history of sex and love inIreland, which goes a long way to explaining why the Irish have sucha feckin' wicked sense of humor.

So don't just stand there like a cow looking over a whitewashed wall, get to readin'!

You'll be arseways with laughter in no time.

    Hilarious!

    This book is probably the most entertaining I've ever read that doesn't have a story baseline or anything related to a story. Great to share with friends!

    Learn About the Irish

    If there is anything you want to know about the Irish living in the "Old Sod" this is the book for you. Organized alphabethically, this highly entertaining dictionary of things Irish is probably the best source for learning about Ireland and its people

    The Feckin Book of Everything Irish!

    If you have family that originates from Ireland, they will absolutely love this book. I got the book for my parents, who are both from Ireland, and it was laugh out loud funny! Not for the younger reader though!

    So funny I spewed my drink all over the table

    This book is the funniest book on Irish culture ever published. It has a dictionary of Irish slang to help translate bizarre sounding phrases that mean such funny things, a history of sex and love in Ireland (did you know condoms were banned until 1985????), words to lots of Irish songs, and a bunch of Irish recipes. This is great for anyone who is Irish, or anyone who likes laugh!
