No surprise that we invented begrudgery , but croquet and Wunderkind were us too! So if some yahoo is getting on your nerves , don't box him in the gob – hit him with Irishisms galore , and you'll soon put the kibosh on his shaninagans . Y' dig ? Written and illustrated by Colin Murphy and Donal O'Dea, the craggy old blokes behind the bestselling Feckin' Collection and Stuff Irish People Love.
