    Antrim - Belfast
    Armagh - Orange
    Carlow - Vacant Lot
    Cavan - Keee-aaaaww-vunnnn
    Clare - New Years' Day dip
    Cork - Gaeltacht
    Derry - Stroke City
    Donegal - Isolated
    Down - Mountains of Mourne
    Dublin - Home for years
    Galway - "I don't have a Galway accent" (said in a ridiculously Galwegian accent)
    Kerry - Summer Holidays
    Kildare - Flat
    Kilkenny - Ould Enemy
    Laois - Passed through when going somewhere
    Leitrim - Beautiful but empty
    Limerick - Bad reputation
    Longford - Dog Food
    Louth - Dundacccchhhhhhhhh
    Mayo - Choke
    Meath - Rough and Tumble
    Monaghan - Sexy accent
    Offaly - Jammy Hurlers
    Roscommon - Nobodies' destination
    Sligo - A town I like visiting

    You do all know that by cutting and pasting Dodge's list you are all leaving out Dublin and (in many cases) talking about your own home county?
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
