Just so anyone over the age of 15 can follow the excellent Shrewdies on Tour thread, can someone please provide an English translation for the following words:
tez.
june. (or Junnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne)
ludder. (or luddddddddddddderrrrrrrrrr)
nor. (or norrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
Will add further words when and if they require translating.
lol.
I would like to clear this matter up if at all possible:
tez = terrible
This abbreviation was created by myself in the year 2007.
june = a quick sarcastic response; a way of saying no
This is a really difficult one to try and explain. This term was first used in late 2005 and was created by Dave Jones.
It was first used during a home game at Jonesy's house when he lived with his parents. The terms was first used as a sarcastic response to something. I'm pretty sure that Rich asked Jones if he could have a lift home, and Jones responded "june, no way".
Also, it could be argued that the words "june" and "nor" have similar meanings, because both are appropriate for if you lose a flip in a tournament. Sometimes when the AK beats my Jacks on the river, ill say "juuune" and sometimes instead i will opt for "norrrrrrr".
I am most likely to use "June" in the following circumstances:
a) if something happens that i don't really like or someone says something i don't like. "June, ffs", "June, thats not really fair".
ludder = ladder
This word was first used in the Summer of 2008, i am not sure who the creator was.
Nor = oh no; oh damn
This one goes back a long way .The creator was Marc "Steelio" Steele, who is not actually in the Shrewdies, and dates back to the early years of the 21st century.
