WARNING! This site is not politically
correct. Furthermore, many of the expressions in common usage in Norn Iron are rather vulgar. However it seemed
to me that to exclude them for this reason would not give a true picture of the language as it is spoken. I have not
recorded them with the intention of causing offence.
(With apologies
to my mother, who brought me up to know better than to repeat some of this stuff.)
"She could eat an apple through
a tennis racquet."
"He was runnin' around like a duck
in thunder."
"He had a hump on like a dog shitein'
razor blades."
"He would make a good pull-through
for a rook rifle."
The pictures used here have been stolen
shamelessly from wherever we could find them. If one of them is of you, we have taken a vow of poverty and are not worth suing.
