monkey run

A frantic dash, usually from one side of a city to another. Also emergency travel between two countries organised at the last minute to try to prevent something terrible from happening.

Reminiscent of a monkey running on the ground from a predator looking for a safe tree to climb. Arms and legs are usually swinging from side to side and the monkey has a grin of terror on its face.

Monkey runs typically have a success rate of between 30% and 50%.

Sandra suddenly realised that she left the CD-Rom with all the photos in her husbands lap top. If he turned it on the game was up. She decided she would have to do a monkey run to London that night.

PF1

Pronounced: pee-eff-wun. A payphone in Limerick. A real Limerick head will pronounce PF1 and payphone exactly the same. The trick is to go into a pub in Limerick and say "do you have a PF1". If they direct you to the payphone, you have just been accepted as a 100% Limerick person.

This PF1 is not wurkin'!

higher

To ask somone to think again. From the British Television game show Play Your Cards Right where contestants had to guess if the next card turned up was higher or lower than the previous card. A slow contestant with a 2 of Clubs might say "lower?" and the audience would scream "HIGHER!!".

Friend: Want to go to Mulligan's for a pint?
No. 1: Higher.
Friend: Why? They love us in Mulligan's.
No. 1: Higher, I got thrown out last night.
