A reliable, dependable and trustworthy person from Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, Ireland. Somebody who can help you out in a pinch.
Typically seen driving a Toyota Corolla, VW Golf, or if the Sham is wealthy enough a Honda Civic or Subaru Impreza though this is not always the case.
A Sham will always get their round at the pub, have a spare lighter and offer a smoke before you even have to ask.
Some may earn the title of a "Real Sham".
A Real Sham is for those who have gone to help a community out at the car boot sale, if you're stuck for a gaff for the nite (a home or place to sleep) and would be your best man at a wedding and actually organise a proper stag night
Other titles such as a "Sly Sham" would be able to jerryrig your car to pass an NCT (Annual vehicle safety test). Set you up with recreational substances and will never rat you to the Gardai (Police).
Shams are often the victim or target of Knackers (Troublemakers who are untrustworthy).
It's important to keep your Sham safe and well looked after.

Get the Shammug. A shams is the definition of fortitude and a gorgeous soul. A shams is great at hiding her emotions and feelings. A shams does not like to share her feelings and if she does consider yourself very lucky. Not only is she brave but a gorgeous girl. She’s thin, medium height and has a great body. She’s curvy that drives boys crazy. A shams is loyal, honest, creative and intelligent. She has the brain of a sharp knife. She’s blunt that sometimes makes people not like her but she speaks her mind. She will support you, help you and care for you once you have her heart. But she can also be a bitch once you break her heart. A bitch that knows no forgiveness.
