"Are oo" is a Kerry term, only heard in parts of West Cork. It is in no way representative of Cork as a whole. In any case it is rarely used nowadays except by some of the older generation. The humour in the verses quoted is completely misplaced. "Are oo from Kerry" was used by Corkonians to make fun of our neighbours from over the "County Bounds" Sorry for being so pedantic. Advancing years are taking their toll on my sense of humour. ??
