Ask Audrey: She said, wow, yet another person who doesn’t know that Curraheen is the Irish word for gold-digger

How yiz? Meself and the missus are thinking of throwing the smallies in the car for the weekend and heading down to Caaarwk, to take a look at yizzers Fota Island, wha? Now, I might as well be honest with you from the get go — I hate Caaarwk people with every ounce of me existence. There isn’t a racist bone in me body, but I just can’t stand the way yiz talk and call each other langers as a mark of affection, know what I’m saying, wha? So I suppose me dilemma is as follows – where is the best place to stay around Caaarwk, where I won’t meet any Caaarwk people, wha?
— Byrnser, Dublin, wha?

I’m sorry to hear that (you are coming to Cork). I know langer is often used as a term of endearment down here, but I’m sure we can make an exception in your case. (Langer.)
