far far too many times, I think I may be heading for an ulcer.

What about "Bitch!"?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 30 January 2003 17:26 (twenty-three years ago)

"asshole"

Exactly.

Not true.

ok, so tomorrow you have to mutter 'puppy' under your breath at least seven times while walking down the street - the cosmic balance must be restored

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 30 January 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Bra.

Nings!

(meaning: 'local people' of the world, thick jobsworths, white van men, people from the game show/Courts/DFS demographic; comes from Duelling Banjoes)

Dublin equivalent: SCOMES.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 30 January 2003 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I think if I was walking down the street and heard someone muttering "puppy" under their breath I'd be more disturbed than if I heard someone muttering "twat" under their breath.

― Celeste (Celeste), Thursday, 30 January 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Scomes, derivation/etymology please?

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 30 January 2003 17:55 (twenty-three years ago)

It was probably derived from 'Scumbag'. Or 'Scone' - we often taunt each other with bakery items.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 30 January 2003 17:57 (twenty-three years ago)

scomes is brilliant

― the internet (scg), Thursday, 30 January 2003 18:04 (twenty-three years ago)

i only really say twat when some twat walks into me and deserves the title ya get me?

― the internet (scg), Thursday, 30 January 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

you're right celeste, it was a trick of course...

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 30 January 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

i only say twunt, twat's just not really part of the vocab anymore.

SCOMES?????

I've never heard of it, are you sure you don't mean "scobes", I'm one of the kidz and that's a phrase I've heard used to mean "undesirables". Fuck now I've made Dublin seem so pathetic and parochial.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 30 January 2003 20:55 (twenty-three years ago)

My usual mantra, chanted for many hours a day (yeah, my co-workers loved being in the cube next to me - maybe that's why they gave me an office?)

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck..." Said in a sing-song voice - in fact, it can sung to just just about any tune. (Try singing it to Amazing Grace or Jingle Bells to get started - will being you hours of mindless entertainment and make you feel cheerier, too.)

"scobes" hella present in cork 2 tho.

more times than I'd care to admit

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 31 January 2003 00:53 (twenty-three years ago)

(except usually it's "fucko")

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 31 January 2003 00:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Oooohhhh..."fucko" I gotta try that next time - thanks for the idea :)

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Friday, 31 January 2003 00:55 (twenty-three years ago)

It's especially good if you yell it in traffic...

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 31 January 2003 01:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Cuntox.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 31 January 2003 11:24 (twenty-three years ago)

i say "dummass"

― di smith (lucylurex), Friday, 31 January 2003 11:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I have changed from muttering "twam" to muttering "twunt", I blame ILX

― smee (smee), Friday, 31 January 2003 11:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Have confirmed 'Scomes'. It may be a take on 'Scobes' though or vice versa - what is its derivation? From 'Scumbag' too?

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 31 January 2003 11:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Maybe you have a posh voice and refuse to pronounce the letter "b", instead changing it to "m".

I'm not sure where scobes came from, I've heard people describe an "unsavoury character" as "scobey".

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 31 January 2003 12:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Is it like the Irish version of a ned?

― smee (smee), Friday, 31 January 2003 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Twats...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 31 January 2003 12:30 (twenty-three years ago)

ned - insult that should have far far greater currency.

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 31 January 2003 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah it's like the Irish version of "ned" yeah. And I don't mean all winky faces and shillelaghs and Kevin O'Shields and Robert Paddy Smith.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 31 January 2003 12:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Dammit, more abuse! And yet I love you all. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 31 January 2003 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

DumbNuts!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 31 January 2003 13:50 (twenty-three years ago)

(You see, muttering things like "DumbNuts!" is so ridiculous that it helps to cheer me up.)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 31 January 2003 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

"Cocksmoker"

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Friday, 31 January 2003 14:11 (twenty-three years ago)

"motherfucker"
