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.

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. )
