Gallivanting With Words is a playful journey through the words, phrases, and quirks that reflect the very soul of Ireland. From the Shakespearean origins of ‘We’ll have the tay’ to the mischievous curses of old Ireland, ‘May the devil make a ladder of your spine,’ this is a joyful exploration of the language that makes us, well, us.

Take a tour around the country, from Cork to Connemara, tracing the words and expressions that distinguish each place. Enjoy the cleverness of GAA sideline teasing, the poetry of a clever shift, and the unapologetic charm of a well-placed curse.

Warm, witty, and full of Irish identity, this is a love letter to the way we speak and the stories our words carry.
