    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.

    Bearing.

    Can be used to describe why various mechanical and non mechanical devices have stopped working or don't sound right...when you really haven't a fcuking clue what's wrong with it.

    "Ah yes, it'll be the main bearing that's gone in it" or "it'll need new bearings" or "sounds like there may be a worn bearing" etc etc

    Can be applied to cars, bikes, lawn mowers, washing machines, tumble driers, sliding doors, power tools, vacuum cleaners, etc etc

    Googled it and got no results.

    Did you just make it up?

    No it's a Dublin expression meaning a different lady other than your other half.

    I am merely stating the context I heard it in. I wouldn't contemplate suggesting I am an expert in Dublin slang.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,564 ✭✭✭✭steddyeddy


    I've heard it in both contexts.
