Other Names for Stuff....

Feelgood

In my effort to start at least one pointless thread per week, here goes....

Looking for the different names we have on things here in good auld Ireland....

For example....the bed, also know as the leaba, the scratcher or the cot.

The car - The jammer, the motor etc etc....

Anyone got any interesting ones?

Can't say I've ever heard of bed being refered to as the scratcher or the cot...

Never heard of the jammer either.... and isn't the motor a very English thing?

Anyway... Are we the only country that says 'runners' and 'jumpers'?

They say sneakers in the US and trainers in the UK.

I remember telling my cousins (from N.Ireland) that i had shifted a girl at the Confirmation dance, they just stood there listening intensely with their mouths open, was only later i found out they call shifting 'having sex'.

Beer = Britney

**** = Sherman
Hahah look at the monkey, hes havin a Sherman

Female orifice = "Gowl"
He tore the gowl off her

Meself and my friends also have a few which I have no idea about the origins, some of them are daft, and I suppose some were just ased as codewords.

For example:

a taxi is a "kebab".
Feck this, we just get a kebab down?

Although it can be confusing after a night on the beer, for obvious reasons.

Amphetamine is "quick"
Not that I touch that crap anymore.

My friend who lives in the USA, rather crudely refers to black people as "Canadians". :rolleyes:

Feck = acceptable version of F8ck
Bud = abbv Buddy, used by

Gowl = Female Genitalia.

But can also be used as a name, a bit like eejit.

Barse - The bit between your balls and your arse. Also called your 'tisn't cause 'tisn't quite your balls and 'tisn't quite your arse.

Not really used everywhere but

Toilet- jax, loo, lavatory, bathroom (for some reason when I was in New York and asked someone where the toilet was, they had no idea what I meant until I called it a bathroom), rest room, john, sh1tter.

An eastern European girl I work with got really confused when someone used one of the above, maybe jax, as she had never heard of it before.
