This is a list that mainly applies to sport, specifically to Gaelic Football and Hurling, but most terms can also apply to regular, everyday speech.
Báite - eg "I gave it báite" - I put a fair bit of effort into it
Stomached - surprised eg. "Jays, when he came up behind me I was awful stomached"
Mighty - very good
Hames - a right mess - eg. "he made a hames of that clearance"
Timber - intimidation of a hurling opponent
Welt - swing at
Lamp - a good thump
A Crowd – e.g. "that crowd from Ardrahan are a right shower of shites"
Schkelp - a good thump
Bullin' - angry. eg. "the centre half back was bullin' after I lamped him"
Bull thick - very angry
Joult - a push
Joshel - a shoulder push
The Comm-it-eeee - Local GAA bullshitters in general
Bushted - eg. "Jayz me arm is bushted"

A hang sangwidge - consumed with tay on the sides of roads after matches in Croker or Thurles.
Citeog - he hit it with his citeog. ie. left handed/footed

Blast - A great amount of anything.

A Shamozzle - a group of players shkelpin' one another but not exactly hittin' anyone at the same time!
Flakin' - usually goes on for a whole game..... eg. "Jayz Mike Murphy gave Tony Delaney an awful flakin' below in training on Sunday". To "flake" a lad for a whole game usually starts off with a bit of the aforementioned "joshellin'" and "joultin'" and develops into a bit of "weltin'" and may even result in a good "lampin'" for the victim especially if he gets "bull thick".

Regulation balls are shorter than that, and "gridiron" is an unambiguous international term.

Affectation almost inherently reflects trying too hard, and imitation is unoriginal.
