Down my way (the arsehole of nowhere)these words are still in use
Wireless = radio. The term must be at least 70 years old and I don't know of any such apparatus without wires!
Box = Television. "What's on the box tonight"? = Do you know if there is anything worth watching on the TV?
"Chief cook and bottle washer" = A label to bellitle someone who thinks they are more important than they are!
"Nod off" = to fall asleep, frequently at a time other than bedtime
"Bunch of messers" = group of people who are interfering with something in the name of fun! It is usually good-natured and not malicious. The "Messers' are typically making a mess, having interaction with somebody or something.
Flick = film, movie (flicks = cinema, movie theatre)
Flutter = bet, gamble with bookmaker/bookies
Hooley = a party or celebration, usually with drink taken! It frequently features entertainment, typically music and dancing.
Plug = element that fits a socket (usually electrical) OR a shameless advertisement, frrequently informal or verbal (such as an announcement at an event for a forthcoming event)
Windscreen = windshield
Chip = piece of fried potato, small stone, small element removed from a larger section. See other uses of chip here. NEW
Readies = cash NEW
Sprog = child
Slag = to mock someone, not a woman of ill repute!
Windy = scared (as well as when the isobars become closer on the weather chart)
Shagged = tired, knackered
Devil's buttermilk = Guinness. An allusion to the power of alcohol over the (Christian) soul.
Rigmarole = complicated sequence of events
Mongrel = crossbred dog
Pearer = pencil sharpener
Brilliant Bonkin. Some of them phrases relate to the galway tongue too. Silky, thats excellent especially the pepsi one.
Lol good stuff ppl as a Dub I would say most of those words are common throughout the whole of Ireland, however when u say ("Plug = element that fits a socket (usually electrical) ") I'm confused: because I still do call it a plug, and haven't ever heard it called anything else. HELP????...
