Eeyar
« on: May 31, 2011, 05:03:16 PM »
how do you spell it?

I googled "eeyar" but dunno

Is it a word or a phrase?

You know when you say it before you speak, like "eeyar, do you know where my crisps are?" or when you're giving someone something?

does anyone know what I mean and if so, how do you spell it?

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

yeah something like that I think/ I'm not sure it means anything specific. Maybe only some of the brits here will know. possibly only northerners if there are any? I don't know who does and who doesn't say it

Damn I wish kosmo was still around - he would have at least heard other people saying it

I thought it was more how "here" sounds with a cockney accent.  ???

"Here you are" when you're giving someone asomething.

"Here you," do you know where my crisps are?


There's probably no proper spelling, because they're not real slang words. Just people shortening the proper words.

I know exactly what you mean.  It is a common saying in the midlands too.

Strange to explain really, as it doesn't just mean 'here you are'  it could
be meant as 'listen up'   you say it before announcing something quite trivial.
like crisps etc.

have no idea how to spell it?  ee yar ?   eee are?  lol

It is just a lazier way of saying here you are. There you are is also shortened here, like when you give someone something, "There yar." So Australia does have this in common with the UK.

Heya! It is derived and a slang form of "Hey" or "Hey you"

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
