Irish slang - A sum of money paid by a public body, off the books, to an employee, "without the knowledge" of said employee... wink wink nod nod*

Originates from a scandal with Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTE) and undisclosed payments they made to TV and radio presenter Ryan Tubridy.
Ryan is worried about his career now that people know about his RTE Tubsidy.

Something repulsive beyond imagination, or just a general term of derision. Derived from Irish broadcaster Ryan Tubridy.
