Its bound to be an unpleasant thing that attracts derision....we had a footy player called Alfie Langer...he was quite talented...so perhaps Cork is "quite talented" and short ..did I mention he was a tiddler.

A Cork langer can an unpleasant thing or indeed even a term of endearment, It doesn't exactly translate to any other language .
I'll leave it up to the Rebels to explain better as I'm only a bogman from across the border in The Kingdom

A Langer, like a Baaastard in Oz can be both a term of endearment or insult, depending on inflection and adjectives used, and also your relationship with the reciprient.

For example, if someone dear to you (almost exclusively male - another thing they have in common) does something really stupid (of the "hold my beer and watch this" variety), he could be called a langer, or a stupid langer. (Oz equivalent is "you stuped baaastard")

If you know someone who is an out and out edjit - you would say he is "an awful langer", pronounced "that goul, he's a-nawful (sic) laaaanger!" We'll cover goul in another lesson.

Unfotunately there is no American equivalent, as our American friends do not insult each other, even as terms of enderement

It is also another slang name for the male member, as in "look at the size of his langer"

It is also a slang term for being drunk and disorderly (somethimes as a badge of male pride), as in "Jeezus, I was langers last night, I got the gawks (I vomited with gusto) all over the gaff (the establishment)".

Hope this is of assistance

I was able to add myself to cluster map a few days ago - then realised it pinpointed where my bikes were - so moved the location to a different area but close to me.

Looking at the cluster map now the option to add location seems to be gone - maybe no more room on the map for anymore people

is where my grandad was from....some of the most beautiful scenery in the country is there.....

Thanks for asking.....my Grandad was from up ComberJohn's way....I found where his house had been but gone, but his uncles house is still there, in Ballynahinch....He has three sisters who lived in Belfast and lived to a good age.

I have some very nice memories of wonderful places like Castlewellan, Warrenpoint, Ballyhornan, Bangor, Newcastle and more. When ComberJohn mentioned a Northern Trip it was a case of go for it and needless to say we were not disappointed. I intend to go up again for some exploration.

Some of the best scenery is way up north....I am sure there will be more well attended trips. I went up to the NorthWest 200 in 1975 and enjoyed that one too, some nice scenery along the north coast.

I saw the cranes used to build it in Harland and Wolfe. Big just doesn't do them justice.
