Ask Me Arse & Other Useful Phrases (Second Edition‪)‬

Ask Me Arse & Other Useful Phrases is a lively, affectionate record of Dublin slang, wit, and everyday expressions gathered across generations.

This collection blends humour, memory, and culture, capturing the rhythm and cheek of a language spoken on street corners, in kitchens, and in pubs. From quick-fire phrases to heartfelt reflections, the book moves between short entries on slang terms and longer essays and anecdotes that ground them in lived experience.

For anyone with Dublin roots — or simply a love of the city's unique voice — this edition offers more than a dictionary. It's a cultural snapshot, part memoir and part celebration of oral tradition.

Whether you dip in for a single phrase or read straight through, Ask Me Arse carries the humour, resilience, and irreverence that mark Dublin life. A book to share, to laugh with, and to remember.
