Ireland Chapter of PMI

Dublin has a form of English all of its its own. It is partly the accent: 

• Flat vowels
• "Th" becomes "d" so "dis, dat and dese"
• "Ing" is pronounced "in", so "rotting" sounds more like "rotten"

And it is also a whole store of word variants that are unique to Dublin or used there more than in most places where English is spoken. Here are a few of  the more common (and more polite)  expressions. 

Howya!
Greeting. Shortened version of "how are you?"

Story?
Greeting. "What's the story?" = "What's going on?"
