The pubs and restraunts are amazing, especially the older, local places, like McDonagh's fish and chips or something of that calibre.
The town is great, and attracts fair such as the Continental Christmas Market and has hosted the Volvo Ocean Race and is set to host the finishing point stop- over for the Ocean Race in 2012.

The city surrounding Pat Coyne.
....I'll tell you a story about this Bicycle. I was standing on it one night when up comes a Galway Gard who asks me if that's my bicycle. And, it is my bicycle i says to him, someone gave it to me earlier that day, and there's me eleven o'clock at night standing on the bicycle outside of the King's Head with a Tim Horton cup filled with Rachmaninoff, and the Gard asking me if it was mine. It is my bicycle, I said, someone gave it earlier to me that day...

Large city on the west coast of Ireland. Set in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.

Populated by bogmen and farmers. Mostly filled with drunken scallys at the weekend. This group taken up about 25% of the total population. The other 75% consist of vodka swilly Polish layabouts.

Go into any cafe and you are more likely to be greeted with some sort of eastern European language rather than the local Galway drawl.

At various times of the year fesitvals are held in the area. This only serves to attract more vodka and Guinness swilling crackheads and the even more dangourous and annoying "The Dublin Fourset"

This group live in the Dublin 4 postcode area and think they own the whole country. Easy to spot because they speak with a false English accent and usually have 100 kids all dressed in riding gear even though they wouldn't know what a horse looked like if it came up to them and said, Hi there, I'm a horse

Don't even try to drive in Galway, it's worse than driving in Naples.

Almost as expensive Dublin. When the locals speak of "Ripe off Ireland" it's not with ironey or sarcasm, it's with a sense of pride.....
Ga Ga Ga Galway!!!

Galway Hello 

The act of avoiding a salutation despite eye contact with someone you have met/been introduced to/have kissed/had sex with. Particularly prevalent in Galway, Ireland, where people actively and awkwardly don't acknowledge each other. Galway Hello; it's a non-thing.
That guy that I've met and talked to like ten times just gave me a Galway Hello. What a douchebag.

Galway Varsity Golf 

A bunch of fake redneck, small dicked, cat fucking faggots that have never played an honest game of golf in their lives. A Smith Card, also known a cheat sheet, is usually what is given as the final score. Once the coaches walk away, the fun in the woods begins. If you are quiet, you can hear the skin slapping and the cats meowing.
Did you hear about Galway Varsity Golf? They were holding cats down in the woods.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
