Wild Rover

1. A wayward local or traveler given to spending lavishly on alcohol despite not having resources enough to justify the spending. The "wild rover" is often the "life of the bar." The term is especially used in Irish pubs.

2. A staple bar song played in Irish pubs.

3. Originally, a temperance song meant to illustrate the dangers of excessive drinking.
1.
Mike: "Looks like Jim's playing the wild rover tonight."
Joe: "Yea, he's going to be broke and have a terrible hangover in the morning!"

2.
Last Verse:
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

Chorus:
And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

3. Written no earlier than 1829, the song’s nationality is questionable due to the fast rate at which it spread.

Range Rover

An overpriced, unreliable piece of shit. Are often seen being driven by rich white women or their thot daughters, both of which cannot drive to save their (or their sugar daddy's) life. Repairs are expensive and you'll be doing them often since they're woefully unreliable, most basic features are optional even though cars that are half the price have them as standard, and basically the British equivalent of a soccer mom vehicle.

Despite all this, the Range Rover's sibling, the Land Rover, is actually a very competent off-roader. A shame that 90% of their customers will never know this.
Range Rover dealership: Parking sensors will be an additional £2095, sir.
Consumer: What the fuck, a Toyota RAV4 has this shit as standard!

17 year old thot: *drives Range Rover into a bus*
Bus driver: Watch where you're going, you spoilt bitch!
