What do you use to hit a sliotar?

Dh is wrongly calling it a hurl. I correctly call it a hurley. For context, I have munster heritage, he's from just outside the pale. It's come to a head as ds has just started at the local gaa academy and dh is just trying to piss me off

A hurley.

A Hurley.

Don't think there is any debate whatever part of the country you are from, it is a Hurley.

Slater? Are you talking about woodlice?

A hurl

It's a hurley. A hurl? Never.

Hurley is the proper name but a lot of people shorten it to hurl. I live in a very strong hurling area..not in Munster..and everyone calls it a hurl. So ye will have to differ and see what the coach calls it.

Yep, a hurley.

a Hurl.
or a hurley stick.

A Hurley ( from Munster ) can't abide a hurl ( needs to calm down)

I'm ignoring the coach. He may have an all Ireland medal and an all star but he's wrong too

A hurley stick???

I'm just waiting for someone to come on & say hurling stick.

Hurley.

A caman

Hurley

It's hurl or hurley here in our part of cork

Mammysin, it honestly makes me twitch when he uses hurl as a noun instead of a verb. And I'm sure he actually dgaf and he only says it because it annoys me.

My brain clearly skipped over hurley stick earlier as a self protection measure.

A hurl???? That just makes me want to vomit!

Of course it is a hurley.

Hurl sounds very D4 doesn't it?

I actually suggested that as a compromise Jane!

Yes, I can hear Ross O'Carroll Kelly stuttering over it.

Hurley but I know a lot of people who call it a hurl. Annoys me so much.

I’d never given in any thought but my first response when I read the thread title was “hurl”. I guess I’m wrong too!

I have always called it a hurling stick... im crap too clearly! I am not sure being a dub is even my defence! I know nothing about GAA!

DH, a proud Munster man & hurling obsessive, has just informed me that hurl is in fact correct in some parts of the country, Kilkenny for example. Who knew?
