1. Doll
As in: “auld doll” and best pronounced “dawwl.”
2. Farney
Sounds best in a chant, quickly followed by ARMY.
3. Clart
Someone who is a bit of a mess. “You’ve spilled a rake of food down your top, ya clart ya.”
4. Welly
Elongate the e-l sound. As in “to give it some.”
Poetry.
5. Tippin
Pure romance. Just what you want to hear.
6. Hooor
An affectionate term – and one that sounds so much better in a Monaghan accent.
7. Tay
Never, ever tea.
8. Pup
“Ya messy puuup ya.”
9. Haigh
Used liberally at the end of sentences – and perhaps the quintessential Monaghan-sounding word.
10. Gason
Young fella.
You actually can’t beat the Monaghan accent, haigh.
