It's no wonder, really, when he spends his days thinking about words and turns of phrase. With this, his second book in the series, he turns his attention to the words we use at work, rest and play: from placenames and fishing boats to kitchens, pubs, building sites and WhatsApp groups. Colm follows the language through the places and communities that keep Ireland moving, revealing a living vernacular shaped by trade, habit, humour and human connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the words Irish people use when they are getting things done, getting on with each other and getting through the day.
