Inspired by the accent thread.
What sort of slang is common in your area/work place/social circle?
I'm from Belfast, there's the city slang I grew up with, then there's the "culchie" slang, that I mostly understand. There's also a big variation in slang/accent, from one part of the City, to another, and from one Town to another.
Culchie: Anyone raised in "the country", which can be anywhere from 2+ miles outside the city centre (which is called "town", as in "lets go into town for lunch").
I regularly say/hear:
Wee- Small. Everything is wee. When you go to the wee shop, the wee woman working, will ask you if you want a wee bag, and to pop your wee card, in the wee machine, then she'll ask if you want the wee receipt.
Scundered- Embarrassed.
Dead on- Good (unless uttered in a sarcastic tone, when it means I don't believe a word you just said).
Turned- Feeling nauseated, or expressing disgust.
Boke/boak- The same as turned, although can also mean literal vomit.
Ragin' - Pissed off
Aul- Old.
Caul- Cold
Baltic- Really cold
Lashin'-Raining
Roastin'- Warm
Foundered- Wet and cold
Peeler- The PSNI (police)
Scrote- Ball bag/Reprobate.
Ballix- Balls. Can either mean fuck! Or that you think someone is talking a load of shite.
So it is/So it was/So it did- Added randomly to the end of a sentence. "That's just the way it is, so it is."
Ats us nai- That's us now, we're sorted, we can finally enjoy x, y or z.
