...is actually an Irish word. You have forgotten "cutty" as an alternatice to girl, and "cub" for boy.
Other colloquealisms iclude:
Shiad: Shed
Wan: 1
Windee: Window
Weemin: Women
Dour: Door
Flure: Floor.
Your "auld doll" is your "ma" or mother and the police are the "Peelers". Just to let you know.

As a Corkonian I have never in my life called anyone mother of partner an Auld Doll.
The word Beoir for girls has become quite common slang and of course your mother is called "Ya ma" except if your from Montenotte then its "Moma" and also dont forget that we all pernounce Cork as if its spelt "Caork".
A Oh and the phrase to make a "Bullabashin of it"= to make a mess of somthing.
