*according to Sean
- Chancer – as in, “I can’t believe they tricked me out of two euro; what little chancers.”
- Knacker – as in, “I saw some tracksuit-wearing knackers throwing snowballs at an old lady.”
- Ye – as in, “Quiet, the pair of ye.”
- Like – as in, “What a little chancer, like.”
- So – as in, “Go get your two euro back, so.”
- Sure – as in, “Sure, he won’t stop giving out ’til he gets his two euro back from those little chancers, like.”
- Grand – as in, “Sure, you’re grand, like.”
- Feck – as in, “He’s done feck all since he got here,” and, “Feck, arse, girls.”
Except I can say these things. And I’ll say them all I like until I get them right.
Always whisper the word ‘knacker”! If you say it out loud, your Irish friends will give you this wide-eyed terrified stare, like if there was a crowd of lovely tracksuit boys just behind you.
Great blog!
