Endless Paradigm

hey guys!
Right so I was stumbling and came across a page with Irish slang words, alot I use and alot I don't but people from towns near by do, different places have different words they do and don't use. Anyway I thought I would add it here and expand on it and put an * beside words I actually use so you can see how I talk. By the way I should be studying but procrastination is always more interesting haha!
