I sometimes say lug as in 'open your lug holes' for ears, but it's generally when you have a 'lug in your hair'

We would say 'tat in your hair' or tatty hair

It's odd, what's so common place here but not elsewhere - even so close as Ireland.

For example, my cousin got married last month - her now husband is from Ireland. I was photographing the wedding so was in the house in the morning along with all his family who had traveled over. One asked me where the abbey was and I said "oh, it's just down the road!" And they cracked up! Apparently they don't say that there They said whenever they'd asked anyone where anything was over here, everything was "just down the road"

I don't know what part of Ireland their from but where I'm from that's said all the time.
How weird.

I don't know if they have the same fosters and that we do but its brits ringing 2 guys for advice from oz and one advert they finished the call with hooroo.. I never thought much if it but would make a crap impression if it when I would see the ad on. I scared ds2 half to death reading that like omg its a word! And it means goodbye!! Hahah sorry

 

[hayz_baby]

We do have similar words tho like old man, quite commonly call cigerwttes fags here porky pie for lie and bangers and mash

 

[Bevziibubble]

I had no idea hooroo was a word! I've heard it in the Fosters advert when the guys hang up the phone. So I guess it makes sense now
