THE first episode of the hotly anticipated Derry Girls started on Channel 4 last week - and viewers absolutely loved it.
From its quick wit with one liners ("Ring Bobby Sands!") to its cultural accuracy, the show was a hit.
Every Derry Ma has a wooden spoon! Weapon of Ma’s destruction. #DerryGirls

Not to worry though because the helpful folks over at Channel 4 compiled a list of the ultimate glossary to both learn the local lingo of the Derry Girls and understand them.
