A chuff is a bird.


Urban Dictionary.

1. lairy
England, esp South Coast. Pushy, angry. "Don't get lairy with me!" "He gets so lairy when he's had too much".
"Don't get lairy with me!"

"He gets so lairy when he's had too much".

2. Lairy
British slang: Displaying an aggressive attitude in order to provoke a fight, argument or any verbal or physical confrontation.
"Stay away from him - he's well lairy," or "He's a right lairy git."

3. Lairy
Brighton slang for cheeky, particularily in the case of younger people 'giving lair' to older people. Lairing someone up is like winding them up, maliciously.

Which would seem to be that Gins ,who is the biggest worst one on here,thinks that you may be too, so fit in pretty well...
Back handed compliment I think...

I cant disclose all my Yorkshire meanings to this lot as it will restrict my subtle slagging off ;)

Like the Archers....how very dare you. Now the rest of em on here were born before the Archers script writers were born, but please dont include me...Im the baby ;)

Good luck thats all I can say!

I can remember - as a - very young girl - my Grannies buying a condolence card - when someone died on the Archers -

We all had to sit quiet from 18.45 to 19.00 every night Granny stayed with us


I always told Granny I liked the Archers - so I could go and stay we here - and have some of her milk stout !!!!

Thats true Cyn,I missed that American spelling of tyres that she used there.
And there was I thinking we were giving her a good grounding of real English spelling..;)
