Mark Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 it's true, the next 41 minutes are going seem like an eternity.By the way, what's "the shanter" is it a river? A chimney? The ol' Kent road?

ratty Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Shanter "noun": Generic Portsmouth term for any ale house. I am popping out for a quick shant - I am going to the pub for a beer. I have been on the shant since 9 this morning - I am inebriated due to my desire to drink alcohol from an innapropriate time of the day. I am totally shanted - blow me, I seem to have vomitted all over the cat again!

mockney piers Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Does that make Portsmouth a shanty town? ho ho.Actually I quite like that, a useful and flexible term. May have to purloin it if you don't mind ratty.I'd need to use the terms Sherbert, Larry and Spandexed respectively to achieve your sentences Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/436-is-it-just-me/#findComment-9394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm going to head to a shanter in Clerkenwell shortly but will be up for a shant in ED later if anyone's around Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/436-is-it-just-me/#findComment-9395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Feel free Mockney! There are a few Portsmouth exiles in the ED area (and yes, we are all obese drug addicts!) so you may get some knowing looks when using the term, but as you point out, it can be used instead of 3 alternative words so it must be good!13 mins until I am out of here for my particular shant! Rye Tavern Garden me thinks!SHANT ON! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/436-is-it-just-me/#findComment-9396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
