A perpetually angry person who speaks with a high pitched voice, starts arguments as often as you have hot dinners and generally fcks up any sane social situation.In winter the male of the species typically wears a ben sherman shirt, an undersized jumper, tight jeans rammed up his hole, sovereign rings on the fingers and bad hygiene.The female sports tacky awful clothes, ear rings the size of swimming pool rims and a face in an unending twisted gnarl of rage.Facial wounds are also common.These people often have a good sense of humour.

An onomatopoeiac word. It refers both to the sound made often by these kinds of people and also refers to these people themselves.Waar's are people who talk with a nasal constricted voice which sounds somewhat like the cawing of a crow. "cawww Cawwww" etc.The point of the accent is to impress others with how "hard" and "mad" they are..generally in fact it is the weaker types who use this voice, somewhat akin to characters like "joxer" in sean o'Caseys Juno and the Paycock, or "the bird" in "The field".You will find this anywhere in Dublin but talbot street/abbey street lower is always a good place to start.

This is usually used in a derogatory sense actually, Although hardshaw used to mean you were tough or fearless etc etc, these days its used to challenge old fashioned ideals of rugged alpha manliness.
