And your three favorite words are, "pleeeeeeeease don't stop".
I see how it is. 😉
In Ireland and especially in Dublin, they don't say the word "by".
As in "I'll meet you by the bridge".
In Dublin, they shorten the word "by" to "B".
"I'll meet you b the bridge" or "that's him over there b the window".

I'll meet you B the bridge instead of saying
I'll meet you by the bridge.
Another way of speaking they have is to say any word ending in ty as ry
for example: when they say the word responsibility
they will pronounce it as reponsibiliry.
Or the word ability
I have the abiliry to do that job.
It's just lazy slang unique to parts of Dublin.
