Maidhcil Mac Fheorais's definitions

effort

When something is done by someone following what they think is a winning formula, but their lack of imagination and mediocrity shines through.

Her: Did you hear the new Radiohead song?
Him: Yeah, a complete effort.

Him: Did you see the new bridge over the Liffey?
Her: Yeah, what an effort.

Finglasian

A native of Finglas on Dublin's north side.

Finglas was originally an old village but now is a big sprawling tough working class neighbourhood.

Finglasians have recently been moving en masse into the neighbouring county of Kildare.

Kildare used to feel really country, but now it's full of Finglasians.

rag order

In a bad way. Totally disorganised, all over the place. Can mean hungover or just plain sick. Can mean a combination of mental disorder and physical damage. Like in bits, banjaxed, in a jocker, in a heap.

She drank the full bottle, took all the pills and was too wasted to slit her wrists properly. She's in rag order today.

bockedy

Irish word for rickety, unsteady, badly made. It wouldn't generally be considered slang, is used by young and old alike.

Don't sit on that chair, it's a bit bockedy.
