This seems to be an absolute craze amongst Irish males these days. Phrases like “Howiya lad”, “Good luck lad” etc appear to be common place. I was referred to as ‘lad’ last week by a cashier after I made a purchase. I almost took his head off. Can somebody please explain how this term became popular? It seems that people think they are the salt of the earth if they use this term. It’s painful to hear and even worse to read. Generation of cunts. :mad:
Dunno, mate… Must be a bogger thing, pal.
'tis a Wexican tendency.
‘Quare gud lad!’
Them Wexford lads are always at it

That might explain why so many simpletons have embraced it.
Don’t worry about it kid.
Lad, is not, nor ever should be, an acceptable term to address another person by.
Why would you acquaint yourself with simpletons? *
- I understand the irony of me asking you that question.
I would only use the plural term to address a group of friends or colleagues.
Is lad not usually a refernce to your mickey? My lad is red raw etc etc
Was the “lad” craze not 2 years ago?
Sick cunt
That’s acceptable, lads when referring to a group is common place.

I don’t acquaint myself with simpletons Croppy, I encounter them day to day. In pubs, in shops, in work.
Me: ‘Hello, do you know if there is a vodafone store nearby?’
Simplteon: ‘I dunno lad’
Me: :mad:
