With every decade comes a slew of new slang words we can’t help but use in our everyday urban dictionary. And the Irish just love to coin a cool phrase, don’t they? (ride, shift, craic… the list goes on).

So, we’ve gathered up these new words we think describe exactly what goes on in our lives. We dare you not to recognise at least 10 of these in your own…
