    Tonight I was trying to explain to some friends who a guy in our company was and that he was a cousin of another mate but somehow I got it mixed up and called him her "cousband".

    I think I should patent the word and sell it to red necks in America and people from Dundalk as am sure cousins who are also their husbands is quite a common thing.

    splange

    Shíte - someone already invented it:
    Splange
    The slightly over eger weed smoker who hogs the joints, gets way too high and and doesn't put in.
    "I can't ****ing believe this Matt you prick, next time you come round you'd better bring some weed, you ****ing splange."

    I invented the word "Truple" for people like myself in a relationship containing three people rather than the standard "Couple" with two.

    Not a word I invented but Kerry people, instead of using 'the shift' or 'a meet' or whatever the young ones call it, kerry people around the killorglin area call it 'jibb'...

    I the zoo recently I tried to tell my son the monkeys were over beside the tigers and I accidentally said monkers. So I invented a new word and a new animal!

    Basically it means "cheek". If someone cuts ahead of you in a queue you may say: "The sheer bombosity of that fcuker"

    When admonishing my teenager one day I cautioned her not to 'intervolve' herself, I was trying to suggest she not interfere nor get involved!! It works for me and has entered the family shorthand!!

    "Stampled". A combination of stampeded, stamped and trampled. Can be used in the context of herds of ruminant animals or riots.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Everyone on my mom's side of the family says "scrawm".
    Like you get scrawmed by a cat.
    It's like scratch, but more specific.
    I have said it my whole life never questioning it, until I was about 18 and one of my friends asked me what the hell I was talking about - she said she'd been wondering for years!
    So I looked it up in the dictionary to show her and it didn't exist - I was shockified!

    When I was younger I used to say addictable instead of addictive. Apparently a lot of other people used to say it too.

    Trombivulence.

    A verb, I think, to describe a persons general muppetry in any given situation.
    The conversation went thusly :

    FRIEND : He knows well, the cúnt, what he's at and still tries to get away with it
    ME : I know. That fúcksocks trombivulence will land him in the middle of a punching session some day.
    (After 3 minutes of silence)
    FRIEND : What the fúck does trombivulence mean?
    ME : Haven't a clue.

    I don't know if this counts but me and my friend worked in a petrol station when we were 15, there was a big stick behind the counter in case we were attacked, we called it 'le stick o beatong'. :o
    We were idiot stoners.

    Is that a derivative from bombastic, as in Mr. Bombastic who had bombasity..

    Vivicordial - adj

    An adjective that describes someone that is way friendlier than than they should be. Possibly from being on ecstasy. And is probably a two-faced cúnt.

    Friend 1: Did you meet Sarah's new fella last night?
    Friend 2: Aye. I don't trust him. A bit too vivicordial.
    Friend 1: Yeah, lets kick his díck in.
    Friend 2: Solid.

    A mate sort of accidentally invented the word "gnarling" thinking that it was a real word. He took it to mean a state of hunger somewhat more than a hankering e.g. I've a gnarling for a big bag of chips.

    Scumlings - Reference to Dublin junkie's children.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    A family one we had for penis was "stroop" and going toilet was going for a "swiz" so it became a thing before we would leave the house that dad would shout at us to go "swiz the stroop" even if we were female.

    also in our house any kinda pasta sauce or mixture really would be called "slooder" or "scudum"

    My dad is a bit mad it must be said.

    An Eddie/Eddying... Basically we know a guy called Eddie who never stops lying, Big ones too.

    So if someone is telling whoppers we go "Ah that's an eddie". Or "will you ever stop eddying".

    Been used in our house ever since.

    Gnarl is a word according to the Dictionary, not in your friends context which is much better imo.

    Was looking it up as I remember in my secondary school days in metalwork we used to use a lathe to serrate metal handles to enable a better grip which I though was called gnarling.

    Anyway turns out that was Knurling. See, you learn something everyday.

    Lunitard

    Was in traffic, somebody did somehing stupid... went to call him a "lunatic", changed my mind to "retard" half way through, and thus "Lunitard" was born!

    I like how it sounds like leotard - add's a certain , je ne sais quoi
