- Luv- often bus drivers and little old ladies use this when talking to me. It threw me off the first time I heard it, and one of my friends here says its a very "Cork" phrase
- Fanny- don't ever use the phrase "fanny pack" or "fall on your fanny" because here, it means vagina. So that could be akward
- Do a line- dating/courting
- Crack- fun. So, "where's the crack" is actually a common phrase I've heard
- spelled craic
- Half 5, half 5- 5:30, 7:30, etc. You get the idea
- Rubbish- garbage
- Wicked- also used a lot
- Dear- aka expensive
- Your man- a person in general
- 'Like' and 'so'

Language Differences
Before I forget them all, I think I'm going to start a list of phrases and idioms that I've heard here, along with their American translations. I'll probably update this one quite often as I hear more and more things.
