    it's been driving me mad for so long and i think it's finally cracked my mind in two... the word "random" and every derivation thereof:

    Me and Fiachra met some total randomers last night

    makes me :mad: not sure why but I think it's high time we came up with something better, so I'm asking you boardsters to help me improve slang. Take a word or phrase that's gone a little old and freshen it up, make it a bit newer and halfways entertaining and just generally put the life back into it.

    Anyone who can improve the phrase "Yore Ma" wins post of the year, from me anyway. :cool:

    Parents calling their child Fiachra makes me :mad:

    'yorema' was funny 6 years ago or something, it used to be random and well timed. Now it needs to quietly go away.

    How about "we met a few arbi barbies last night"?

    Don't think people would know what you mean though

    Maybe barbitraries would be better.

    the word cúnt (without the fada obviously) should replace randomer. think about it... it fits everywhere 'randomer' does, only it fits better. e.g. Fiachra and myself met some total cúnts last night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,300 ✭✭✭nice1franko


    also, word of advice op: if you're hanging around with a 'Fiachara' you're bound to meet lots of cúnts.

    I have never heard of the word random being used in such a fashion.

    Kids these days and their random bastardising of the English language. :rolleyes:

    'Random' seems to be one of those words that D4 wannabies seem to try work into every possible conversation.

    Instead of randomers, why not just refer to them as slappers-regardless of whether they were/are or not.
