    My Nana (from South West if the country) used to call myself and my cousin rowdlums as kids because we were a bit wild. Have no clue why. Anybody know?

    In my mind, It always makes me think of a conflation of rowdy and hoodlum which is obviously miles off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,571 ✭✭✭0byme75341jo28


    Misunderestimate.

    It's actually a great word, thank you President Bush.

    Diarrhoea.

    In my house we call this 'The Squits'.

    Gas word that I'd picked up from a medical board game in the 80's.

    The kids use it now & it makes me grin every time I hear it.:D

    We need to make up a word for "made-up word." I nominate "flad."

    Drow is a word meaning a made up word.

    Sounds like you've got that backwards.

    Neologism is perfectly fine.

    ****ehawks is a colonial/seafaring import.

    Yesterday we were discussing who was most hammered.
    The word "hammererer" was used a few times.

    Snib.
    When my sister used this word, and I asked what it meant, she replied that a snib was an inverted snob.
    Hope she didn't mean me.

    Clunge - like it.
    "To clunge about" perhaps?

    Arsebadger! An American friend of mine always says it when she's angry. "He's a fcuking Arsebadger!"

    Swoff. Me and a friend were fed up with the word "hun" so we made up swoff. "Hey swoff, how you doing?"
    Sounds less "hunzo" now! :)
