Old people and diarrhoea

number10a

I thought that this was just a Cork thing until a girl I know from Waterford brought it up recently. Has anyone noticed that old people pronounce diarrhoea in a strange way?? The seem to say diareeeeee. :pac:

Any other strange pronunciations that old people say??

Im from Co Wexford and I have never heard anyone else say it!

Can't say I ever noticed that... My Granny used to always say "yonks" and punts instead of euro. Can't think of any different pronunciations though

I'm just impressed if someone can spell it, never mind pronounce it properly.

My father is nearly 80 and he just cals it "the ****s" (We're a very refined lot)

"The Squits" is a term I use, and then there's the old term "the scutters"

I have to say, I haven't asked many old people how they pronounce diarrhoea. I'll keep it in mind for next time I'm talking to one though.

Ah, you see, here we have a term being expanded to embrace the entire drunken experience from imbibing to expelling.
