Garuns originated in
Brighton, UK from the
high school Varndean College
Brighton.
Garuns is an abbreviation of the word "Guaranteed" originally used by the "Chavs" aka "nutters" of varndean school however it soon caught on to the rest of the city by either
people using it in mockery or purely enjoying the great phrase. There have been many variations on the origin of this linguistic phenomenon, the most prominent of these say it is derived from a miss-cue of Gary Berkoff'
s mum, calling him "Garyuns". This however is most probably an urban legend, as is Gary himself.
There was an uproar about how Garuns was to be spelt, some (the clever ones) wanted Garuns to be spelt Guarans claiming as it originated from the word guaranteed it should be spelt in the same manner, however this just didn't happen as most
people tended to write it as "Garuns" simply because guaranteed is a hard word to spell. Another break off from this is the so called 'msn' spelling of the word; namely "Garenz".
The
people who most frequently use the word and who (disputably) claim to own the word are - Hobbie, Easty, Matt Watts,
Sonny Ball,
Joe Howell etc. Garuns can be used in almost any context, can be randomly added into a sentence or can be substituted for any word.
For example-
"Look at the size of my Garuns", "Pass me the Garuns", "She is a Garuns", "Did you Garuns it?", "Did you Garuns finish the homework", "I need to finish my specifigaruns", "lets mish it to the kebarens shop", "where's my Garuns?" etc. There are also many variations of the word Garuns.
