Thread Name: Help: So, what's a 'falorie man'?
Subject: RE: So, what's a 'falorie man'?
It is not unusual for someone in Ireland to conjure up a word to describe a person with peculiar ways,
"i am a good ould working man
each day I carry my wee tin can
A large penny bap and a clipe of ham
for I am a good oul workin`man."
I remember an old, long dead friend who always referred to the Joker in the pack of cards as "the wee falorie man".
The word has more of a northern ring to it.
