Northside Shower 

This is when a Northsider (person originating or living on the north side of the river Liffey in Dublin) can't be bothered to take a proper shower and simply sprays themselves down with deoderant, febreez or a cheap disinfectant bought at the local LIDL or ALDI.

While for most civilised people, this might seem repugnant, the practice works for Northsiders because they are all Knackers (member of the Irish travelling community or a Northsider or anyone from Limerick)
Jayzez, did you cop a whiff of that Northsider?! I thought he was OK but once the shower wore off, it brought tears to my eyes.

That bleedin' knacker must have settled for a Northside Shower because after the aerosol blew away the flowers started to wilt.
