Read through this one last week. It's pretty fun, especially the section with words and phrases that are uniquely Irish. ( )

Book description
From the flap:

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 your 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.
