    As a Spaniard who lived in Ireland for a good few years, can say with certainty you become bilingual once you understand a conversation between two drunk dubliners. In all seriousness, loved watching the vod and remembering when/how I learnt all these terms on the spot!

    When you mentioned 'yoke,' a bit of Philly slang came to mind for me. Here in the US, in Philadephia, the equivalent of the term 'yoke' is 'jawn.'

    Easter is my Irish season I feel the most Irish . My grandmother was a huge easter person very religious and loved to make our candy by hand , our dyed eggs were works of art . Baskets that could have won awards with fresh ribbon and flowers . 💐 for my granmom who is still the center of my universe.

    "Naff" was a (slang?) word I heard in Ireland that I don't think you covered in either Part 1 or Part 2. I flat out made my friends tell me the meanings right away. Also "faff" or "faffing" ! A very useful word because I don't think we have an American equivalent to it. In the 8 years I was there I never heard "giving it socks" which is a great expression! Thanks !

    Great to see you back! This could be something very out of date because my da said it: "Amn't I damn apt" for "there's no way in hell I'd do that"... I think it's not like "I will yeah" when you're just saying no. it's more like a sarcastic response when the idea of doing something is out of the question or preposterous, like "Take a job at that place? Amn't I damn apt". As I say it could be a very old thing, or maybe a Munster thing.

    My fave use of the word yoke was by me Ma. We were in town (Dublin) and popped in to a shop with a bakery inside.
    Me Ma, go love her, went up to the counter and said to the lady behind the counter " give us a couple of those yokes" The ladys face fell to the floor. " yokes?" says she, "yes" says me Ma" those yokes there behind ya" "we slaved all day making these" says yer one " and you call them yokes? " She was joking but me Ma apologized profusely any way. LMFAO
