    We called it grushie but I knew a few people who lived elsewhere that called it a gushie.

    Where I lived, as the wedding car left the bride's house to go off to the Church, the father of the bride would throw loads of money out the window.

    Good times!!

    It should definitely include Southside and Northside Dubs, as well as country folk!

    A poll would settle the grushie///spits "gushie" question.

    OP put up a poll to make a fools of the "gushie" brigade.

    This has to be a Dublin thing, I've never heard it before in my life.

    I love all these kinds of mad words Irish people have though :)

    What does the all a bah bit mean?

    Could be ab ea, maybe? Not sure it makes sense from a Gaeilge perspective but it's makes as much sense as a bah.

    southsider here, and it was both 'gushie' and 'grushie' in our school, depending on who called it (usually not the person whose stuff was being thrown about)

    usually used with sweets, change and stacks of premier league stickers..

    You'd swear there were food shortages they way at the shout of 'gushie' people would pile in and and fight it out for the sake of a thrown half kit-kat that was in pieces when it hit the floor or being trampled by the onrushing stampede!
