Irish English US English - Language Divergence
68Saunter
After commenting The Women of Hubpages by Moonmaiden I was struck with the difference in my Irish English and the English here in the US and thought this song would be a good way to illustrate that.
Saunter by Jetplane Landing
Saunter in the dictionary is defined as ;- To walk at a leisurely pace; stroll.
It is used in the North of Ireland, primarily in Derry, there it means feck off in a semi-friendly sort of way...
