-
A native or inhabitant of Cork.
— Vivacious and versatile, beyond the average even of Irishmen, the Corkonians mingle raillery with their hospitality, and cut up cattle and human nature with a trenchant ease and constant energy, as if they had taken a government contract to victual the State with beef and satire, fresh jokes and pickled pork at the same time.
形容词 adj.

Of, relating to, or characteristic of Cork.
— But there is nothing malevolent in the Corkonian mode of levying toll upon old residents and new comers; […] priests with frowning faces, and queer-looking little boys with funny ones, and a miscellaneous lot of noisy patriots always going to shout and hear others shout at “the meeting,” are constant and prominent features in Corkonian life.
