Folkways are norms that ordinary people follow in everyday life. Conformity is expected, but not absolutely insisted on.  Folkways are not strictly enforced.\n\nExample: "No shirt, no shoes, no service"

Just a few of many:\n\nThe New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English \nSlang: The Topical Dictionary of Americanism\nThe Oxford Dictionary of Slang (Oxford Paperback Reference\nAmerican Slang Dictionary, 4E.\n\nOne of the problems is that slang evolves rapidly and the dictionary writers have a hard time keeping up.  An on-line dictionary might be more up-to-date. There are three links to web dictionaries below.  For more just search for "slang" on Yahoo! or Google.\n\nOne of the purposes of slang is to create a barrier to outsiders.  By having words and phrases that only the members of the group understand they can exclude everyone else.  When these slang words get into the mainstream the "in" groups have to invent new words to keep their identity.

I like Microsoft Works, but that's pretty common.\nI also once heard the phrase, "the cutting edge of folk," referring to folk music.  Seemed pretty oxymoronic to me.

http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/folktexts.html has a few versions of folktales from different countries.\n\nI recommend going to the library, there are some nice collections of folktales and myths out there.\n\nThe most famous Irish "myth" is the story of the Tuatha de Danaan, and there is some speculation that it is actually an embellished adaptation of the history of how one group took over from earlier people, since the Children of Danae came in with superior weapons and looks and had great battles with the Fir Bolg.  I wouldn't call any of these stories "myths" around Irish people though, we tend to get a teensy bit defensive most of us, ingrained thought that even the most fantastic story has at least a grain or two of truth in it.  What's interesting is that most of the old gods had "saint" tacked on and kept most of their attributes - "St. Brigid (sometimes Brid or Bride)" is a prime example.\n\nFor German stuff, check out http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/ger1500.html which is a college course's site but has some good links.  If you're not already familiar with the Norse gods, you might check out http://www.dickinson.edu/~eddyb/mythology/Creation-1.html first for the basic creation story.  Keep in mind that there are places still where the norse gods are still honored as an active religion, not myth, so it would be nice if you kept this in mind.\n\nHope this helps, but I can tell you that you're going to find better resources in a print library for something like this.\n\n\nBy the way, the "banshees" mentioned above is an anglicized spelling of Ban Sidhe - try looking that up!  A lot of Americans, even those of Irish descent, seem to have a strange opinion of all things Irish, including songs and stories - I suppose I should blame Americanization efforts of parents along with things along the lines of "Darby O'Gill & the Little People."  It's fine to laugh at your stage paddy, I'm the first to howl at those sorts of jokes,  but know what being Irish really means too.  We gained a lot by coming to this country, but it seems the wild geese may have lost more than we gained.

Here's the only one I can remember without having the book in front of me...\n\n“It is music with her silver sound because musicians have not gold for sounding.” \n\nOh, and I think there is one involving the Friar who values his morals more than gold or money or something like that.

I couldn't find the lyrics in the few minutes I tried, but I did find a recording of the song on http://www.folkways.si.edu/search/AlbumDetails.aspx?ID=622.  Hopefully that helps.

The terms ethnic and traditional are used when it is required to emphasize the cultural roots of the dance. It this sense, nearly all folk dances are ethnic ones. If some dances, such as polka, cross ethnic boundaries (and even cross the boundary between Folk and Ballroom dance), ethnic differences are often considerable enough to speak of, e.g., "Czech Polka" vs. "German Polka".\nHowever, not all ethnic dances are folk ones. The simplest example of these are ritual dances or dances of ritual origin.\n\n\nFolk dance is a term used to describe a large number of dances, mostly of European origin, that tend to share the following attributes:\n\nThey were originally danced in about the 19th century or earlier (or are, in any case, not currently copyrighted); \nTheir performance is dominated by an inherited tradition rather than by innovation; \nThey were danced by common people and not exclusively by aristocracy; \nThey have been developed spontaneously and there is no governing body that has final say over what "the dance" is or who is authorized to teach it. This also means that no one has the final say over the definition of folk dance or the minimum age for such dances. \nFolk dances are traditionally performed during social events by people with little or no professional training. New dancers often learn informally by observing others and/or receiving help from others. Folk dancing is viewed as more of a social activity rather than competitive, although there are professional and semi-professional folk dance groups, and occasional folk dance competitions.
