Definitions
1
A disliked, difficult or unpleasant woman. Heard all over Ireland but especially Dublin — usually delivered with a sigh and an 'oul' in front of it. Carries a whiff of bitterness rather than outright hatred; the kind of word your mam might use about a neighbour she's fallen out with.
“She wouldn't even hold the door for me, the oul' wagon.”
