Ask me butchin.
Or in these more inlightened times (which i agree with), gays men are no longer refered to as Quaerrs, black people are no longer Nig Nogs and travellers are not Tinkers anymore.

I am called a "dirtbird" multiple times everyday in college. You'd hear it a lot more if you went around dispensing smutty one liners and Kenneth Williams style double-entendres....

Lamb of the divine jayzuz. I'm quite perplexed.

I don't hear "gurrier" so much any more.[/QUOTE]

I still use this only as "He/She's a tiddle the bricks and go be the wall":o
I still use oxters(only used it the other day:o) )
Love the expression gurriers and would use that as well as "Bowsie"

You don't hear many people using "Header" as in "Jaysus, yer man's a right header"

Spa, abbreviated version of spastic. Derogatory term, usually used to indicate a high level of stupidity.

As in "you're some f**cking spa to put petrol into a diesel car".

stmol32

Spa was/still-is a great one because it's so short you can change it to whatever your imagination dictates.

A friend of mine once called me a "a spasmodial geebag full of spasmotic sh**ehawks"..... I really hope that spa became the novelist he always dreamed of being.

"a half one" was said for a measure of whiskey, not sure if still said

I used to always say "I'm up to me oxters in work" until I found out oxters wasn't really a rude word.

I haven't heard 'As the Fella Says' in a long time.

There's one phrase which I believe originated and was exclusively used in Roscrea Tipperary. It was 'a bit of Jonic', for eg Are you up for a bit of Jonic? It means craic or a good time. Sadly it's not used by the majority in the town anymore, the old ways are gone.

"Crease"

As in "I'll bleedin' crease ye". Popular amongst Irish mothers in the 80's.

Crease is still quite popular with wanker sergeants in the Defence Forces.

As in ''if he's asleep on gate duty I'll fúckin crease him.''
