Bah is a
key component of the local dialect of regions such as Clonmel, Marlfield and Grange. Bah'
s origins are found in the alteration of the word 'boy.' This mispronunciation is used at the end of a sentence when greeting friends, associates and acquaintances alike. It can also be used to emphasize the importance of a statement. While the word
may be frowned upon by the upper class of the aforementioned areas, its finest exponents consider it to be a fundamental part of
day-to-
day parley.

one taking a shit bah." ( Jonathan tells a friend that he found a picture worth seeing. )

Shane: "
Fair love me friends bah." ( Here, Shane uses the word to emphasize how much he loves his friends. )
Philip: "Well bah." ( A
common greeting between the exponents of bah. Conversations like this are notorious for their length and content. )
