Irish slang for a car, like most Irish slang for some reason the word originates in Tuam, because in Tuam they have to make a new word for everything apparently
Due to the fact that cars block up everything in traffic jams the term was coined

Tuam Slang:
Refers to a local of the Town Tuam in Galway, although often used outside of Tuam or to non-shams in the same way an American would refer to someone as Dude or Bro
Irish Slang:
As well as the above Sham is also used when you are surprised or shocked, like a more polite way to say "holy shit!"

Tuam/Galway slang for shoes
It is pronounced Shkates with a softer A to emphasize that you are talking about shoes and not roller skates or ice skates
Comparable to other slang words like Crepes which also refer to shoes and not a type of french pancake

A posh area of Galway just outside the city center
Salthill is a scenic area of the city famous for its promenade and the blackrock Diving board
"People" from Salthill are know as SaltHill-billys
They are some of the most insufferable people in all of Galway city and very comparable to South-Dubliners, almost all of them are massive innocent boys who think they're better than everyone else because of the area they where born in some shitty tourist trap of a townland. There are a few exceptions of genuine people there however, such as Knocknacarra natives who have worked their way out of their Ghetto to stand with the Salthill elites

Person 1: Did you hear that Ryan has moved to Salthill
Person 2: Oh! that's great, I'm glad he made it out of the Ghetto
Person 1: Yeah of course! its a shame he'll have to talk to the people though
Person 2: Yeah bunch of innocent boys and Poshos they are, I hear they like jumping from black rock so much because the taste of the sea reminds them of Cum!
Person 2: Those Salthill Billys really are disgusting, Salthill would be a better place if it was just us fine folk from Knocknacarra and Ballybane instead.
