Dowtcha Boy!: An Anthology Of Cork Slang
by Morty McCarthy
Category: Language Arts & Disciplines

Becoming familiar with Cork lingo isn't easy but Dowtcha Boy aims to make the reader 'crabbit' (cute, wise to) with little effort. It's 'simple out', like! The book developed from one man's love of Cork's unique language. Long before The Langer catapulted Cork slang into national awareness, Morty McCarthy went on a mission to record Cork's quirky words and expressions and make them available to the public. On his travels around his native city Morty collected over 400 unique words and phrases voiced by Corkonians. Memories will be jogged and the humorous illustrations by Fergus Keane will surely make it worth a sconce!
