Man-southside dub, wannabe hipster who’s actually a bogger, stoner, pillhead
Pal/buddy-taxi driver/bouncer[/QUOTE]
I use all of those phrases depending on who i am taking to on a daily basis. Theres every type of cunt in this place. I even say mate with an english accent to an english lad. Another is “chap” they say that in waterford

What’s this lads problem?

They do in my hole

I forgot “san”.

Larry O’Gorman tried and failed to popularise “brother” post 1996.

But instead Wexford town en masse adopted “san”.

It’s not “son”, it’s “san”.

Alright san? Headin’ to the Stores later?

They’re nearly all shamelessly lifted from England. At least that’s the one thing the likes of sham or scan have in their favour

Lesser of two evils when you read that dancing at the crossroads shite above

Howiya buddy

Also “a mhác” in South Connemara…

Alright a Mhác?
Cén chaoi bhfuil tú a mháic?
Fuckáil leat a mhác!

Buh/Boh (the spelling of this has been hotly debated for many years) - Callan
Use in traditional greeting - Wishybuh

Bro, no.
Brah, maybe.

What’s wrong tabby me auld China

It started in south Tipp a good while back and ever since it has spread like wildfire throughout Munster.

Not exclusively. I’ve a buddy of mine from St Patricks Road in the city who uses it all the time, fucking wrecks my head.

It’s a fucking uncultured word that needs binning.

Same as AIDS did in the 80s

Agreed. A bunch of lads from Clonmel I know have been addressing everyone as lad since the mid 00’s

Everyone?

I spent a few days on a trek in Northern Laos with a lad from Clonmel who kept referring to the guide as “lad”. It was alien to me at the time.

When @Piles Hussain and me bumped into each other the other month we said wishybuh straight away, like it was nothing.
