    I Are you sure it's not cub they're saying? I've heard Tipp and Offaly people say this but I think it comes from the Thai for man or summit

    Nobody in the country would use bud, dude or man. It's all shaft, scan and sham around these parts.

    This phrase. What does this mean? I see it everywhere :confused:

    Its the shortest verse in the bible. Its commonly used as a phrase to express exasperation.

    Urban Dictionary tells me it stands for Cum On My Butthole but I'm guessing that's not the meaning in this case :D

    Better than being called a donkey I guess.

    My cousins boyfriend used to always call her a donkey when they would fight I remember her drunk one night roaring crying asking ''do I really look like a donkey''?? well I never laughed as hard I could just picture her in the mirror trying to see it lol stupid bitch...

    Do people actually call eachother 'skin' and 'horse'?? :confused:

    That doesn't sound very nice at all... As a matter of fact, I think I'd prefer to be called 'comb' rather than 'horse skin' :rolleyes:

    Anyone know wtf it means? Or where it comes from or even the correct spelling of it?

    I've been hearing it mainly in the Mid West but have also heard it in Cork, Tipperary and Galway if this helps.


    racist!! maybe its comb as in 'chew on my balls' directed at ye 'city folk'

    Cove? That's close actually, I'll listen a bit more intently now tonight and see if that's how these muck-savages are pronouncing it.
