Yanks are a rare breed, I've had a few in the cab describe Youghal as 'Yeeew  Haul' or 'You  gal', and Cobh as 'Cob  Aitch', the word Lough seems beyond them as they refer it as "Low' !

Mate of mine worked in Chicago for a few years, name Seamus Keogh, sent a few flyers for construction work with his phone number. His 1st call " Hi, could I speak to  See Mus Cock please".

The Galwegians don't mind as long as the Yanks keep buying Galway crystal and Arran "sweaters".

If they come here and spend their money I don’t care how they pronounce it, 4 of my first 5 runs last night were yanks. The last of them, 2 wimmen, “ can you take us to our b&b but we need to stop at the ‘ paki ‘ shop on the way “ they said, after a few questions from me it turned out that they wanted an off license to buy wine, it seems that whatever part of trumpland they’re from that what used to be called the liquor store is now the paki shop.
On another note, the said two ladies who were already full of Irish cheer bought a bottle of wine each to drink before bed which is ok but for the fact that they were driving to dingle this morning, can just imagine how someone who usually drives on the other side of the road will be able to drive on our side with a full Irish hangover.

Was in the Chinese shop the other nite and Chinese guy behind the counter was talking to a customer,
" Wha' you do?" asked the china man
Customer replied "Why, I'm a comedian."
China man did not believe him and says .." Hokay,  Prove it!..Go on, change corour."
