Your "auld doll" is your "ma" or mother and the police are the "Peelers". Just to let you know.

Thanks, Captain Tobias. Duly noted!

Is this more Northern Irish though? Auld Doll is definitely Cork-speak for your other half. Mind you, Cork speak is unintelligible anywhere else - and I'm not going there!

No, I think its fairly universal throughout Ireland... to the best of my knowlege!

As a Corkonian I have never in my life called anyone mother of partner an Auld Doll.

The word Beoir for girls has become quite common slang and of course your mother is called "Ya ma" except if your from Montenotte then its "Moma" and also dont forget that we all pernounce Cork as if its spelt "Caork".

A Oh and the phrase to make a "Bullabashin of it"= to make a mess of somthing.

Craic is now synonymous with Ireland but latest theories reject that the word originated in Ireland. But now we have it we're not going to give it back!!
