Well!

The way old people admit that they're wrong. Or I guess it's what they say when they don't want to admit they're wrong. Just imagine a grandma with her hands on her hips and an angry frown on her face because you outsmarted her, and that's essentially what this word means.

Beccatina: "Actually grandma, it's pronounced 'ayva,' not 'awvahgheuregh'

Grandma: "Well!"

The well is the shelf under the bar where they keep liquor at hand for mixing drinks. So, a well brand or house brand is the brand of liquor served when a customer requests a drink by its generic name (e.g. gin and tonic, scotch and soda). It's usually the least expensive brand served, as opposed to more expensive call brands.

Order me a Jack and Coke. Their well brand tastes like bathtup gin.

Well 

In many towns in Ireland, 'well' is a salutation or greeting. Having used the expression all my life, I've never been able to figure out whether it's a kindly-meant enquiry as to whether or not all is well with the person so addressed, or simply an expectant demand for news updates - in my hometown, it always felt like the beginning of an interrogation!

Well, girl, haven't seen you in ages.
