D4 Slang

joeybloggs

Was just thinking about the whole new vocabulary that the wannabe Americans have introduced into the country? I only know the few do...

Tobler- to be alone
Britneys- beers
Daniel Day - Luas
Morto - mortified
Probs - Carlsberg
Ken - Heineken

What else is there......... ?

Never heard of those

Its basically a crap version of cockney rhyming slang with american touchs through out.

Anyone who talks like that is a bona fide c*nt.

I work in an offo and once had a guy come to the counter and ask if we had a case of 'barbie's'. To which i was like wtf?!
He proceeded to explain:

Barbie -> Barbie + Ken -> Ken -> Heineken.

It was at this point I called him a sap....

Reminds me of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly sitting in on an English lecture in college.

Says the lecturer:

"In the English language, a double negative is a positive. In others a , including Russian, the inverse is also the case, but there is no incidence in the English language where a double positive forms a negative"

Says Ross:

"Yeah,...Roysh"

bar the last 2 I wouldn't class them as D4 specific.

Define D4 specific?

How are those slang in any way American? Where would Americans have heard of the Luas?

in fact none of them are. I just never heard the last 2 used at all, ever. So as not being from D4 I imagined, from the OP, that it must be used there. If not, then so be it. The OP should be shot. Misleading people like that. tut tut.

'leg-hammer' = pronounced 'ledgehammer' = means: 'legend' :eek:

e.g. yeah loike, moi mate lorcan, he's great, he's such a ledgehammer...

ah the wit.....:D

Score is a terrible D4 slang term for kiss.

i wouldnt class them all as "D4" slang. I grew up most for my many years in tallaght and we used toblerone alot (while burning out cars!). "The Daniel" in reference to the luas is also used frequently too.

The whole D4 thing is a bit of an urban myth IMO. Ringsend is in D4 and has some shady spots. Blackrock, foxrock or howth are not in D4.

Cockney rhyming slang is used all over dublin.

No it's not, that term has been around much longer than the "D4" thing.

Should I just grab the Ross O Carroll Kelly books and say all the slang there originated in D4 or does someone else wish to? I'm not to John B, to be honest. I'd rather go have an Allied Irish.

Is "Rents" in relation to your parents D4?

I cringe when I hear/see that

funk-you

Tobler, swampdonkey, morto etc...all from the northside. The southsiders just rob them to make it look like they have some sort of personality. Give them a few years and they'll all be "bleeding rapid roysh"

"mare"..... nightmare

As in. "Did you see Sebastian in the match the other day? He was having a mare of a game."

Is it not slang for shagging, and is it not used across Ireland (if not the world)?

Again, never heard of any of the ones the OP mentions, except "Daniel Day" for the luas was used across dublin for about 2 days when it first came in, then never again.

How is a britney a beer? I can kinda see Britney = Spears = sounds like Beers, but I can't see any real person actually saying such things.

Is a mare not a female horse? A sort of more sophisticated variant of bitch or heffer?

none of these are american or D4. they are just sayings people use, and pretty crap sayings. 'tobler' has been around for years and it definitly didnt start with D4 or wannabe amercians, it was actually a scanger saying years ago. the rest of them are just realy, really crap attempts at cockney rhyming.

i think these would be the correct D4 terms for those sayings:
to be alone - on your lonesome.
beers - would be Lager or Bruskies.
luas - would actually be the Dart becuase the luas doesnt go anywhere near D4.
mortified - would still be mortified, becuase it is a D4 saying itself. leave 'scarlet' to the scangers.
carlsberg - who drinks carlsberg in D4?
Heineken - Heino or Heinys

That's not even US or Irish, never mind 'D4'.

That particular one ('mare for nightmare) was doing the rounds in the UK over 10 years ago ...probably a fashion-led resurgence then of an even earlier comparable craze :rolleyes:

But calling someone a mare or saying something is a mare makes sense as a derogatory comment without it having to mean nightmare (although I suppose the same could be said for britney spears)

It must have rubbed off on you. It's a d4 term and that is a matter of fact.

It's not a word I'd use unless I had really, really good reason to do so.
