The Local Speak

The Local Speak is pretty entertaining so far. We've learned that the Irish here in Athlone like to say "Cheers" instead of "Thanks".  They describe good meals as "gorgeous," and they interject "lohveleh stuff" often in their conversations.  "Brilliant!" is used instead of "Great!" (so much more fun to say...)
