Have you ever heard of someone "having ire"

    Seems to be a sort of malady that irritates the posterior and causes them to walk funny. Anyone heard of this? Am I spelling it right and what is the origin of the word - is it the same ire as anger?

    I've heard that some people lack ire and that can make them slip and walk funny.

    Yeah, have heard of that before think it's similar to 'red eye' or 'ring sting', bit of sudo and you'll be grand.

    Sounds about right. I'm not suffering from it but thanks for your concern.

    "She"d put ire on Vaseline"

    A slice of cold ham on the inside of each leg is a great cure for the ire.

    Not speaking from experience of course.

    Used to be all the go years ago. Adult nappy rash. :D

    A pal introduced me to the word, explaining it was an affliction particular to the larger man, caused by chafing of the inner thighs.

    So when you see someone doing the fat guy walk about town this Xmas, spare a thought that they're soldiering on about their business, while Krakatoa cruelly erupts somewhere south of their own equator.

    My granny used the word long ago, when we were in short pants and peed on the side of tge leg. It was an irritation of the skin.

    I put the 'ire' in 'Ireland'

    Where I come from it's called Chub Rub and there's a whole industry selling products to help alleviate it.

    Women with pendulous breasts can get it if they don't wear a bra on a hot day. Try medicated talc or Bepanthen that tattoo people use.

    Possibly the same fellow that put the cnut in Scunthorpe :)

    It's a common apocalyptic malady in Reggae music.

    Yes I used suffer from it when I was a shower dodging teenage dirtbag. Showering every day seems to have cured it completely.
