effort

When something is done by someone following what they think is a winning formula, but their lack of imagination and mediocrity shines through.

Her: Did you hear the new Radiohead song?
Him: Yeah, a complete effort.

Him: Did you see the new bridge over the Liffey?
Her: Yeah, what an effort.

stowaway

An uneaten item of food still in your mouth hours after you thought you'd eaten it.

Always rinse your mouth out after eating to avoid stowaways.

rag order

In a bad way. Totally disorganised, all over the place. Can mean hungover or just plain sick. Can mean a combination of mental disorder and physical damage. Like in bits, banjaxed, in a jocker, in a heap.

She drank the full bottle, took all the pills and was too wasted to slit her wrists properly. She's in rag order today.

higher

To ask somone to think again. From the British Television game show Play Your Cards Right where contestants had to guess if the next card turned up was higher or lower than the previous card. A slow contestant with a 2 of Clubs might say "lower?" and the audience would scream "HIGHER!!".

Friend: Want to go to Mulligan's for a pint?
No. 1: Higher.
Friend: Why? They love us in Mulligan's.
No. 1: Higher, I got thrown out last night.

Finglasian

A native of Finglas on Dublin's north side.

Finglas was originally an old village but now is a big sprawling tough working class neighbourhood.

Finglasians have recently been moving en masse into the neighbouring county of Kildare.

Kildare used to feel really country, but now it's full of Finglasians.
