Infos

 We Irish have enriched the English language with a   slew   of   snazzy   gems. Did you know we're the ones behind   quarks  , electrons  and   vectors  ,   Sudocrem  and   Wellington   boots? No surprise that we invented   begrudgery  , but   croquet  and   Wunderkind   were us too! So if some   yahoo   is   getting on your nerves  , don't box him in the   gob   - hit him with Irishisms   galore  , and you'll soon put the   kibosh   on his   shaninagans  . Y'  dig  ?  Written and illustrated by Colin Murphy and Donal O'Dea, the  craggy  old  blokes  behind the bestselling Feckin' Collection and Stuff Irish People Love.

Colin Murphy is the author of more than two dozen books and co-author of the bestselling 'Feckin' collection (The O'Brien Press). His début historical novel Boycott (Brandon) was published in 2012 to great acclaim. In his spare time, he is a dedicated hillwalker, and frequently contributes articles to MountainViews.ie.
