10 words that just sound better in a Monaghan accent

“Do do do do… Faaaarney Army.”

1. Doll

irelandos-tommy-bowe-2-752x501 Billy Stickland / INPHO Billy Stickland / INPHO / INPHO

As in: “auld doll” and best pronounced “dawwl.”

2. Farney

Sounds best in a chant, quickly followed by ARMY.

3. Clart

ARDAL Rte Rte

Someone who is a bit of a mess. “You’ve spilled a rake of food down your top, ya clart ya.”

4. Welly

0007e702-630 Rasset Rasset

Elongate the e-l sound. As in “to give it some.”

Poetry.

5. Tippin

Pure romance. Just what you want to hear.

6. Hooor

An affectionate term – and one that sounds so much better in a Monaghan accent.

7. Tay

Young fella.

You actually can’t beat the Monaghan accent, haigh.
