Moron, Muppet, Twit, Degenerate aren't awesome, but they're useful if you're feeling pretty abrasive.

A few of us seem to use "inall" when texting, instead of saying "and all". The British are very fond of using "init", which is basically like saying "isn't it" at the end of a sentence :P

I love the word us Irish use where we so something for the "craic". We just want to have the "craic" is all :P

It just refers to having a laugh or a good time really. You do something for a bit of "craic" or say like "last night was great craic."

It has nothing to do with drugs so don't even attempt to think such a thing :mrgreen:

In case it's not clear everyone else, it's pronounced "crack", not "crake". :P

A non-English one I really like is "sbagliato".
My Italian colleague was somewhat bewildered by the force I once attributed to the word, since it basically just means "wrong". I guess that the strong "ba-" onset brings to mind Hiberno-English terms like "banjax" and "bags up". Coupled with the reinforcing "z-" prefix, that probably makes my mind lean more towards "completely screwed up" than just "wrong". :P

I like the word banjaxed actually, people tend to say that here a lot :P

Everyone here uses the word "gaff" instead of house. I often hear "How’s she cuttin’?" here instead of hello. I also love the way we say "Oul Fella" / "Da" and "Oul Wan" / "Ma" to refer to our mothers and fathers in real life conversations :mrgreen:

EDIT: I love "leg it" instead of run, that's brilliant :lol:

I find the word "Kerfuffle" to be an amusing word to use.
It is like a funny word that a child Would use But it makes sense in lots of stirred up occasions.

Is it just the UK & Ireland that say I'm bolloxed when they're tired or is that said everywhere?

I know it's also used here the same way as banjaxed aka broken but I'm wondering is it used in that context elsewhere.

I think "magnetron"'s pretty cool. Doesn't really sound like something everyone has in their kitchen :P
