What do you call it....Met,Kiss,Shift e.t.c???

kmart6

I know this may seem a very childish and immature thread but I think this topic needs to be addressed. I have friends from Dublin and any time I see them they start askin so who did ya met recently. Now I know what they mean cause I have known them for years but its very confusing for all my frriends fron where I live,thats because where im from its called shifting.

Strange topic but just wondering what people think!!!!!

Kiss my bad self

it depends......
i'd say kiss/meet a boyfriend/girlfriend but if it was at a club disco i'd say score. anyone heard of scoring?

I used the term 'met' because that was what we said. My mam said 'wear'. People outside the pale tend to say 'shift'. 'Go with' is something from the north to my knowledge.

It all depends. Personally I say kiss, because its simplier that way. And less... childish, if that makes sense.

Don't mean to offend anyone by saying that, but it just seems like something that young teenagers say...

*shrug*

I was at a football match in Leitrim when I was around 12 and some fella came up to me and said will you shift that girl over there? I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. I thought he wanted me to move her. :rolleyes:

Kyu Who?

well normally here in waterford we say meet..but i go to a college full of ppl from kilkenny,waterford,carlow,cork and wexford and jsut to make it easier on the auld brains we just say kiss and every1 knows wot ur talking about..

Everyone I know says 'met/meet'. I personally hate the word, but to be understood sufficiently it's what I say.
I heard of 'shift' back AGES ago, I just thought it was an older word that'd fallen into disuse. Evidently not, though.

heh when i was in college in Thurles I'd say something like, 'oh yeah I met Clare earlier' ... and people would look at me in shock, couldn't understand why till someone explained it to me... "Met" WTF? lol

I generally say snogged

monkeyfudge

I have never heard the term "met" in use at all.

"Was with" is the term I'd be most used to. But personally I do enjoying shifting... it's quite an amusing term....

Shabadu

They used 'snigged' in Offaly for years as a variation for snogged.

I just use kissed though, it's the nicest sounding.

Scarinae

I absolutely HATE the word snog, it wrecks my head! Makes me think of girls's magazines such as Sugar and Bliss
I personally say kiss because meet sounds skangery, shift sounds boggery and I always think of scoring as meaning bedding someone

Sarky

I'm a pragmatist. I just call it "Unlikely".

marshmallow

using 'met/meet' can get really annoying coz everyone uses it without meaning kissing. i met X earlier- just meaning i was in X's company, not that they were kissing.

dearg_doom

Until I was 8/9: Snog

From Then till I was 12: Shift

From then till I was 18ish: Meet

Since: Score

And that goes for everyone my age(23), from Dublin, that I know!

i always said meet too, is it really a kilkenny thing though, as when i was in school, the general term was shift-which i never used cos it sounded stupid. now its just kissing.

OLDYELLAR

yea i know when i was in college and people were like im meetin such and so in the library , i was all giggly like ya filthy mare and they didnt know what was going on

Piste

From when I was about 10 I always said met until about a year ago when I started saying score and now I just usually say kiss,I call it score sometimes as well.

Yes, Nightclub = random score...scoring is what I call it

The Real B-man

get off with her

Bazz

"Get with" someone

Nightwish

anyone remember the term "scon"? maybe it was a kilkenny thing...disgusting word really

StupidLikeAFox

Ive heard a lot of these. Personally im with/met/went off with someone
Also think snog is the girly magazine way of putting it, or the english way (remember the clearasil ad? ''did ya snog 'im'')
Also score seems v.D4 or somethin, although ive heard it mostly from D4s and theres also the ''PS I Scored the Bridesmaids'' book

Ross/Paul Howard was using "score" as a word for shagging, not merely kissing...Ross O Carroll Kelly always goes the whole way...TOUCHDOWN

OMG, I was just thinking of starting up a thread like this
In Wexford we use 'shift' but when I went to Irish College last summer, everyone said 'met' and I was like wtf are they talking about but then I got used to it. Sometimes people around here say 'will you go off with her' or something similar to that but never met.
In Australia they call it 'pash' but I don't know it what context as in ' do you want to pash me' or 'i pashed her last night'

I remember when I was younger a friend of mine from Ballinasloe told me about this time she was "feeking" some guy down the back of the bus. I said you were WHAT?!! Apparently, it was their term for kissing...!

billy the squid

"got my iron off of..." or "went away with..."

All my Dub mates say meet, met and meetin , all my Cavan mates say shift. Its annoyin switchin back and forwards- in the same way some irish people with foreign parents speak English to their mates and the native language to their family/friends from the old country, I have to speak one language to fellow dubs and another to the Cavan heads

Tbh id prefer if the Dubs would just convert and say shift, meet is way too ambigious. And sayin things like "aw shes a ****in lovely meet" is just ludicrous.

In Cavan feek means ride, a common expression among cavan lads bein "i pure feeked the gowel off the bure"

Best i ever heard are the Meath expressions. A mate of mine from Dunboyne coached me on the expressions, namely
"Gettin some horsey" (or a ride for those who speak english) and
"Wellyin it into her"

I dont know one person who would descbibe it all as kissing- yid be laughed at to be quite honest, most people would assumed yid never had any yourself (god i need more intellectually stimulating mates)
Ive never heard anyone outside england say snog

BTW who is Ross O`Stupidname? I dont know him, never heard of him andalready i wanna bate the kunt :cool:

Hahahahahahaha that's the best phrase ever!!
Those krazee Meath people...

I say kissed if it meant something, scored if it was just random (disco etc.)

Also, re: the thread title, it's 'etc.' not 'e.t.c.'
(Not trying to be bitchy, I'm just REALLY pedantic. Ask anyone)
