    How do you reckon it was a "howiya"? Did it use the word 'scarleh'?

    Does anyone ever read the letters page from the Irish times? Some of the dross they publish is a joke.

    Look, I even found this example just now on the subject of Trinners and UCD merging. There's always stuff like this with awful puns.

    They haven't just decided to use the colloquialism for no reason as you seem too think, it's a play on words referencing the scarlet revolution (google it).
