Is Irish slang the same as English?

Question

I'm researching. Thought maybe community could tell me.
If they are not the same, please give me some examples of differences?

Answer 1

There are many differences in the slang used in England and in Ireland. In Ireland what are sometimes perceived as slang words are words which derive from the Irish language for example 'The crack' meaning 'fun' or 'great time' comes from the Irish word 'craic' meaning 'conversation' or 'chat'. To put the 'kybosh' on something meaning to ruin it or finish it comes from the Irish words 'caide' and 'bás' meaning 'stiffness' and 'death'.
Below are a few resources on slang in England and in Ireland.

Answer 2

English slang doesn't even exist.
It's all different in different regions, for example in East of London the have "cockney rhyming slang" (e.g. "up the apple and pears = up the stairs)
And up north they might say "look on t'internet" they drop the "the" word....

so they aren't the same, but there isn't really such a thing as "english slang" or even "irish slang"
its not a country thing, it's a regional thing
