byor
A word originating in Co. Cork Ireland where it began as a generic word for female. The corresponding word for male is 'feen'.
In more recent times, the word has migrated to the rest of Munster and particularly to Limerick. In Limerick it underwent a conversion of sorts and now is used to mean a boy or a girl.
It can be 1. a term of affection for a friend
2. A word for a particularly good looking boy/girl
3. A word for someone who is a bit of a legend (cool person)
