    "mare"..... nightmare

    As in. "Did you see Sebastian in the match the other day? He was having a mare of a game."

    That's not even US or Irish, never mind 'D4'.

    That particular one ('mare for nightmare) was doing the rounds in the UK over 10 years ago ...probably a fashion-led resurgence then of an even earlier comparable craze :rolleyes:

    Is Britney Spears not a washed up singer?
    Is Daniel Day not an oscar winning actor?

    :rolleyes:

    But calling someone a mare or saying something is a mare makes sense as a derogatory comment without it having to mean nightmare (although I suppose the same could be said for britney spears)

    I work in an offo and once had a guy come to the counter and ask if we had a case of 'barbie's'. To which i was like wtf?!
    He proceeded to explain:

    Barbie -> Barbie + Ken -> Ken -> Heineken.

    It was at this point I called him a sap....

    One of the most retarded things I have ever heard, ridiculous. What a fucking clown

    Btw so much sh!te you hear wannabe D4's spouting is not D4 or Dublin, most of it I've heard years ago and heard it for the first time either in England or on English TV. Dublin rhyming slang? WTF, all it is is robbed from Cockneys, D4 rhyming slang = cockney rhyming slang but with more soggy biscuit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    Do they actually talk like this? Or is it all just a rumour spread by Ross O Carroll Kelly?

    Cockney rhyming slang originates from the East end of London,
    funnily enough many of those who spoke it were of Irish origin
    and used it as a form of underclass code when speaking in front
    of their employers or the police. It's more Irish than you may think.

    As a south Dubliner, I've a right pain in my Davinas listening to some
    of the whingers on this thread - there are some James Blunts
    who should trot back to the bog or their council estates. :)

    What?

    That is as far away from a D4 saying as you can get!

    Some people haven't got a clue!
