    It's nearly always "drink taken" though.

    "What exactly were ye fighting about right before the carpet went on fire"

    "Emojis."

    "..."

    My cousin who is from Donegal (same as me) used to call runners.."gutties" I never heard anyone else, ever, use that term for trainers/runners. He was an odd ball though.

    I believe that is a belfast term. I taught in a secondary school there for awhile and they all talked about "gutties" as runners
