    If it weren't for Dara O Briain, I might never have known what the word "gee" meant.

    Stupid typos.

    I love the word geebag, ironically the only people who are offended by it actually are geebags.

    I also love the word "Hole" as in "I've a pain in me hole" it's just a very simple and literal bit of slang.

    "i'll stick this effin pitchfork up your hole, that was another one"

    A Fart

    Usage: "I just floated a serious air biscuit there, gents. Run while you still f*cking can."

    Cute Hoor
    Sly Dog

    Delph
    Large Teeth

    "Some set of delph on that one there. She could eat an apple through a f*cking letterbox."

    Scenario
    Beautiful women

    "Come down for a pint, sure; there's feckin' scenario everywhere!"

    Beak
    Food

    "I'm crying out for some beak here, lads. I've been running on Tic Tacs and Guinness for days"

    Hang on, you're from the northside and you didn't know what gee meant until you heard DOB say it? Something doesn't quite add up there!

    It wasn't widely used in my family-we tend to say 'fanny', 'tuppence' or "cookie" for some bizarre reason.
    Back on topic, my grandmother's quite fond of saying "Ye whore's mouth!", though she prounces 'Whore' as "Hoo-err".

    Good times!

    I never really took to saying **** that much but I'm constantly sneaking the odd "feck" into my day-to-day conversations.
    Also, "eejit" is grossly under-used these days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 512 ✭✭✭gavkm27


    other words for gee - ''the axe wound'' or ''the badly arranged kebab''


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,567 ✭✭✭daveharnett
