The Wit of Irish Conversation

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
For the unprepared visitor, Irish conversation can be a minefield. This guide covers the opening lines, closing remarks, topics to avoid, curses to use, and ways to add color to conversation when traveling to the Emerald Isle. A simple question like "You're not from around here are ye?" requires a detailed reply. In order not to be thought rude, visitors to Ireland should supply the details of where they live and why they are in Ireland. To really be accepted, they might add their salary, marital status, and daily eating habits. Included are tips for practical situations in pubs and shops and at Irish sporting events, christenings, weddings, and funerals.
