Definitions

Pure Dublin slang for a kid — small one, young fella, ankle-biter. Affectionate, working-class, heard everywhere from the inner city to Fair City. Nothing to do with the American 'chiseler' meaning swindler — totally different word.

“The chiselers were runnin' wild around the gaff all day.”
