Words, words, words

And now, a dedication, in honour of my Irish grandfather, long dead, and may God rest his cantankerous old soul.

A Limerick radio station is running a competition: words not in the dictionary but which would make sense in a sentence.

DJ to caller: Hullo, there. What’s your name?

Caller: Hi there, me name’s Sean.

DJ: Well now, Sean, what’s your word?

Caller: Me word’s G O A N, pronounced ‘go-an’.

DJ: Hey - Sean, a great start. Goan is not in the dictionary. Now let’s hear you put it in a sentence.

Caller: ‘Goan fuck yerself.’

The DJ hung up on Sean and took some other calls. Later…

DJ: Hullo there. Tell us your name, caller.

Caller: Hullo. Me name’s Mick.

DJ: Tell us your word, Mick.

Caller: S M E E, pronounced ‘smee’.

DJ: Nope, cannot find that one, Mick. For the big prize, then, put it in a sentence for us, will you?

Caller: ‘Smee again and yers can goan fuck yerself.'
