    I've been seeing this everywhere on boards recently, but I have no idea what it means! 'Lads. No, it's lads. Actually it's Lads. :pac:' is it a one off thing or does it come from some tv show or something, like that 'chinese are a great bunch of lads' thing came from father ted? Like, what is it a reference to?

    It's a reference to a gay porn movie, so I'm told, i.e. a great bunch of lads.

    I'm not being funny, but are your a fordiner? I can't understand how someone who lives in Dublin could be confused as to the meaning of the terms "lads."

    quit your ironic thanks whoring!

    anyway: Lads = plural of Lad.......Lad is often used to refer to a boy or a young man as a form of address

    great bunch of lads is reference to that fr ted episode

    the lads = group of lads you hanfg around with

    cmon now lads = cmon people

    etc

    whats not to understand

    No I know what the term lads means, but people just randomly saying it. Saw it in C&H there today, saw it in the LC forum a little while back etc.

    If you just say 'lads' on its own, its the same as how's the goin lads. The way at home you'd say 'well', meanin 'are ye well?'.

    if people randomly say lads then perhaps they have some sort of psychological issues or problems

    eg: would you like ketchup? --- eh yes oh wait eh no...eh lads?

    did you hear that aunty mavis died tragically in a spelunking accident? ----lads lads lads

    get your ass off my face! ---- lads?

    so all I know is that there were rumours of lads!

    sorry did you say nads....no I said lads!

    Q: why did the chicken cross the road? A: Lads

    lady da!

    A lad in another post today put an apostrophe in Mars and left one out of can't. That annoyed me. And he is probably going to college as well.



    Lets just hope this one lands safely on mar's

    I saw it on euro news last night looks and sounds very impressive ( and no it cant talk )
