A battle cry of Irish origin meaning 'clear the way' was first used as a regimental motto of the Royal Irish Fusiliers back in and now the motto of the Royal Irish Regiment. It was adopted by the the Fusiliers back in 1798 after the exploits of Sgt Patrick Masterson at the Battle of Barossa as he attacked the French ranks. Has also been used as regimental mottoes of battalions in the American Cival War such as the 69th New York Volunteer Infantry and the 55th Battalion of the Australian 5th Division in WW1. Clear The Way!

Strong, short-tempered Irish hoodlum(s). Although fierce in nature, they are known to have a kind and gentle heart to those they love. Get on their bad side though, and you'll wake up at the bottom of the ocean.
Oh shit, there goes that Faughnan whooping some ass again.
this word means what ever the hell you want it to. it has no reason to be in existence but as long as no one but you knows that, you can use this word in whatever situation, whatever time, where ever you are.
