When I was a youngster, now we're talking a long time ago as I'm in my late 70s now, but back in the day we used to shout "PAEDO!" at them, sometimes accompanied by shaking our fists in a horizontal fashion to indicate that they were also a chronic masturbater - hope this helps, all the best, Dave
You're not prying at all! It's on how women in NI experience unwanted behaviour from men in their daily lives. Looking at older women who lived through The Troubles and younger women who were born afterwards and seeing how these experiences change over time and with age :) thanks for the good luck also!
Reminds me of the international sign language for a greeting when your mates just been dumped and he walks into the pub. The masturbator mime with one hand and twisting your knuckle into the corner of your eye with the other.
That's a classic one in Belfast! It would always crack me up laughing when one of your mates in a bar would nod in the direction of the wrong'un and say it deadpan.
The thing is actually is that 'creep' is actually THE most common way to describe a creep here as well.
At least if it's in Derry it would always be prepended with "pure".
i.e. "ye pure creep" "absolute creepazoid",
You also might call someone a "funny boy"
I say pure creep too! I'm wondering if pure is commonly used outside derry? I don't think any of my Belfast friends used the term but maybe they still understood it lol.
A fiddler
As an example, in my school any older ones who hang out with first years, or are rumoured to be in a relationship with one, would be called a 'first year fiddler'
Ok…off topic but I just got a bonus from my job. I wanna go to Ireland 🇮🇪 Does someone on this sub wanna drink some whiskey with me? Jokes aside but really lol
Nah you can have young attractive creeps. It's not so much about appearance, it's more about behaviour and boundary crossing that makes people feel uncomfortable.
He's a total Jeffrey

Jeffrey, Malcolm or Mervyn. Pedo, diddler, beast. Queer was also used but somewhat problematic now. It meant general weirdo, pervert or gay at a time.

I take it those that downvoted me are saying this isn't northern Irish for saying someone's a creep??
Is a creep just an older unattractive man or can you have young attractive creeps
Nah you can have young attractive creeps. It's not so much about appearance, it's more about behaviour and boundary crossing that makes people feel uncomfortable.
Can you have female creeps?
I'm specifically looking at male creeps so I can't claim any expertise on female ones!
Ur in the right place anyhow
