    DYING.... As in I'm really "DYING" here..... As he suffers a slight head cold..... My girl can vouch as she has same head cold yet tends to the kids and gyms it whilst I lie like a tranquillised sloth moaning.

    Bearing.

    Can be used to describe why various mechanical and non mechanical devices have stopped working or don't sound right...when you really haven't a fcuking clue what's wrong with it.

    "Ah yes, it'll be the main bearing that's gone in it" or "it'll need new bearings" or "sounds like there may be a worn bearing" etc etc

    Can be applied to cars, bikes, lawn mowers, washing machines, tumble driers, sliding doors, power tools, vacuum cleaners, etc etc

    No it's a Dublin expression meaning a different lady other than your other half.

    Surely every new partner is an unfamiliar ride though?

    I am merely stating the context I heard it in. I wouldn't contemplate suggesting I am an expert in Dublin slang.

    It's called manflu

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
