Hi-I'd like some help with Hiberno-Irish (slang)

How many languages and dialects are you currently studying?

Hi-I'd like to know are there any Irish members here? I'd like some help with some Hiberno-Irish translations, and I'd like to know if someone can please help me out?

Thank you. I'm doing some research on Irish youth, street and colege slang for a project I'm working on. I'd like to know:

What are Hiberno-Irish slang terms and expressions for:

tomboy-a girl that likes to do "guy" things, and/or a masculine-acting female, besides

eirog
hoiden
millie?

Please let me know and please list as many terms as possible. Thank you.

Well, you're terms are all a bit out of date... They were current about twenty years ago.

Now we would say

Hyrax
Bushie
Stackie

Hello-I'l also like to know what are Irish slang terms for:

a tough girl
a delinquent girl, besides skeg?

Please let me know. Thank you.

These are all "clean" terms...

Delinquent girl = Bethie
Queagnfer
Reugh

Tough Girl = Troisie
Roadmount
Quinney

You'll have to pay me for the "unclean" terms.

HI-I'd like to know are there any Irish slang terms I can use for a "transgendered female" that aren't crude or vulgar?
