Someone put up a picture of Tom Hardy on Facebook. Ugh, he's so attractive its actually unfair. If you insist on being that hot you should just let everyone have sex with you.

I couldn't when I saw a lad wearing a syrup of figs in his jam jar. Had to go in for a butchers.

Jeff Hanneman is dead, I knew he was ill for a while but I didn't think it was that bad

Yeah it was really serious. Flesh eating virus or something like that but I thought he was on the mend.

In fairness a lad wearing a wig in his car would warrant closer inspection alright :pac:

Seems it was liver failure, probably related to the flesh eating virus though

I'm not sure if it's a Dublin thing or not to be honest.

It is a Dublin thing, along with Allied Irish (****), Jo Maxi (taxi) Hank Marvin, or either of the words on their own (starving), May West (best, as in 'i'm not feeling the may west), and loads more. I probably know three or four hundred slang phrases that are originally from Dublin. :pac:

I'm pretty sure P_1 called it right, tin of fruit would be Cockney rhyming slang. The others you've listed are definitely Dublin based ones though! I've found a lot of them starting to spread out across the country now though, particularly Marvin and Mae West.

Esoteric_

Hmm, tin of fruit has been around as long as I have in Dublin, so it could well be cockney slang without me realising. :pac:

Yeah, I've noticed that the slang that's primarily from Dublin is starting to spread.

If you ever read a Ross O'Carroll-Kelly book, it's filled with tonnes of Dublin rhyming slang. I remember the first time I read one, I didn't understand several phrases and had to get my dad to translate for me. :pac:

Star Lord

Yeah, the Cockneys themselves don't even stick to one thing for many of their slangs!

Suit could be: Bag of fruit / Bowl of fruit / Tin of fruit / Piccolo and flute / Whistle and flute

A lot of the Dublin based ones are either derived from Cockney slang, or would tend to have some Irish reference in them.

From the little I've heard about those Ross O'Carroll Kelly books, I don't think I could bring myself to read them.

Angron

Makes me glad I don't like in Dublin/wherever the cockney area of England is. I wanna say Liverpool.

Star Lord

Hah! It refers to a part of London!

Angron

Ah, Liverpool is Scouse or Scousers, that's what I was thinking of.

I tried my best, but couldn't even bring myself to finish one of them.

I've always found this to be the case that Dublin slang tends to spread around the country well some of it, always thought it was due to the amount of people from the country living and working in Dublin picking it up then spreading it back home could be wrong though.
