    Question Slangs!

    What kind of interesting slangs do you know which you may use, but not elsewhere in the rest of the Ireland or the UK?


    One line I use that I got from my father, if I was to say to somebody, 'Do you have 10 Bob?', that person is unlikely going to know what I mean.
    In this case, I am asking for 50 pence.

    Another my father (from Carrickfergus) would say, 'How you diddling?'
    Meaning: How are you?

    In London, some will say 'Apples and Pears'.
    Meaning: Up the stairs.

    In Lancashire (where I'm from), we would say 'Ova yonder'
    Meaning: Over there.



    Share some of your interesting slangs.
    It's fun.

    But do not use these to attack users on here please.
    Do that out on the streets
