You had to chortle along with the stand-up routine about the word “langer”. Yes, I have noticed that Cork people are forever saying langer. And it’s indeed amazing the way langer has so many different meanings to a Cork person – you can be a langer, act the langer, have a langer, be langers or go on the lang. Thank you, all, for reminding me of the word’s versatility.

Seen on Holy Shmoly. People’s Republic of Cork abú! Boy.
