Hello everyone!
Well, what can I say? the website has really taken of, with 150 genuine site members in such a short space of time, I cannot be prouder. The website currently has over 550 unique slang terms which have been submitted by our members. Lets keep this going, lets try and create the most comprehensive dictionary of Irish terms. Not all terms have to be funny! even household terms are welcome on the site! If you have any difficulty in using the website, or don't quite fully understand the process for submitted new slang terms, do not fret! very shortly a help guide will be developed and put online for all to see. Well, thats it for now.

Well, in a good way. This morning GMTV News NI aired an interview with myself, in which I briefly discussed the development of IrishSlang.info, as a result, the website has gone insane with the number of new submissions and visitors.

Hello there again,
Its Ned here, once again the website seems to have been developed quite a long way since my last post in the Horsebox! We now have quite a large directory of slang terms submitted by all of you, and I would like to thank everyone who has taken part.
I would also like to thank Keith Law, who has kindly developed a list of Audio Samples of exactly how we speak, you can get to this by going to the "Audio" section of the website. As promised before, the new age restriction has been placed onto certain categories to protect those innocent young minds.
So, that’s about it, until next time.
Kind Regards
Ned The Horse
