That’s Ireland

For reasons too silly to elaborate on, I was looking up early Irish references to the word eejit, and I came across a piece in the Irish Farmers Journal from 1966 which listed some colloquialisms of the day. Do you know what these mean?

• Monaghan - Gesha, Gosoon, Hait, Hallion, Mizzling
• Waterford - All the Care, Bit of a Consequence, Dallacker, Tipper, Who-but-Me
  
• Other Counties - Cleesawn, Eegit, Jildy, On the bed, Sharoose
