    Yes absolutely ! Which why I asked if it was a buggy . We called pushchairs go-cars when I was young . Till this day my mam refers to a buggy as a go-car

    I pronounce it like Joker but with a G rather than Go Car, how do you say it?

    It's similar to a 'swally like a Lough Erne pike'.

    Is gollop not simply spelling what we know in the Irish as the guta cúnta, and in English as the epenthetic vowel or auxiliary vowel (e.g. writing 'film' as 'filum')?

    For instance, somebody called Colm being spelt Colum. In English, spelling gulp as gollop is strikingly similar to dolp being spelt dollop. However, the latter is now the accepted spelling of the original word 'dolp', which meant 'lump', while gulp rather than gollop would be the standardised version of that word.

    My partner calls me a fag when I'm not in the mood.

    Weird type of yoke.


    Truth be told I don't really fancy her anymore.


    She's a really good mum to our boy though, I would never deny that.


    Supermum.
