Not sure of spelling but ācull tieā is a fine word
āBe wary of yer man heās a right culltieā
Well it isnāt the lad from the Guinness lorry who humps the kegs to your point of entry.
Cur is a great word. Saw it on here recently. A real, old-style rebuke. Very hard to come back from it.

Indeed, a super word.
My mother used it a lot. About us mostly.
My Granny used to use it to describe shifty sleazy type blokes, or chancers.
Yerra, heās only a Keggerman, or something like that. I have no idea what it means, and canāt find anything online about it.
An upwardly mobile neighbour of ours once called some people she knew ācounter hoppersā and ācottiersā. Counter hopper is a classic but possibly makes no sense today as you canāt come in and out of shop workspaces by pulling up the counter?
