'Who would have thought there was more than one way of saying ‘going commando’ in Irish? And what do expressions like fear gan chathaoir, ag éirí a trí or cnaipe a scaoileadh mean? This dictionary is packed with Irish phrases as they are used today, as well as providing fascinating insights into how the language has changed over time. Contemporary Irish has words like téacsáil, hipearnasc, svaidhpeáil ar deas/ar clé, trasinscneach, íocaíocht gan tadhall, along with many others that express the reality of lived experience for a new generation of speakers.'

'Tairgeann an tríú foilsiúchán seo i sraith leabhar ar an Ghaeilge, What’s that as Béarla?, léargas léannta lómhar ar an teanga mar a labhraíonn aos óg na tíre inniu í. Nochtar go neambhalbh ar leathanaigh an leabhair seo saibhreas na teanga ó shaothair na bhfilí nua-aoiseacha agus ó phrós scríbhneoirí iomráiteacha na Nua-Ghaeilge. Is taisce eolais an leabhar seo ar conas a labhraítear an teanga sna Gaeltachtaí éagsúla agus sa Ghalltacht freisin. Leabhar tagartha fiúntach eile de chuid foilseachán Bannister gur cóir spás a dhéanamh dó ar do leabhragán baile.'
