How to speak like a true Dub: H-L
- Howl
- Great gas, great craic, great fun, as in "He's a howl" or "It was/We had a howl". The word sometimes has an ironic usage, a sense of laughing at someone or something rather than with them.
- Jo Maxi
- A taxi.
- The 'Joy
- Mountjoy Prison, immortalised by Brendan behan, one of its former inmates. Conditions are so bad now in its ancient buildings that plans are in train to replace it with a new prison at a different location. For the moment though, "The Auld Triangle" still "goes jingle jangle all along the banks of the Royal Canal."
- An Lár
- See The Pillar
