Afterbird!! Back me up on this one, please!

[slamdunc 10]

I'm having a discussion at work with a load of non-Sheffielders and mentioned 'AFTERBIRD' to them. To which they all shook their heads and said 'What!!'

 

Much searching of google later and I still can't find a true definition for the word.

 

I know what it means, but need proof to fire back at these foreigners.

i'm from sheffield but what does that mean? afterbird?? afterburn perhaps?

[H.P 10]

I thought it was the same as having a lock in at the pub

[Ashcroft 19]

it is drinking after opening hours isnt it, is a lock in.

[In Uppers 10]

Afterbird is just another term for 'after time' drinking in a pub.

 

Bludy foreigners lol lol lol:hihi:

[pertfoxylush 10]

Can't find one on Google, sorry!

Bird - rhyming slang for time (bird lime). 'Afterbird' - after time, or more accurately, after the time bell, the best drinkers get to stay for a while .......

Yeah, I've heard the term in relation to after hours drinking in pubs, but I think it's a local term, so not surprising your non-Sheffield colleagues are looking blank.

 

Google returns results for the phrase, but not surprisingly the quotes are from Sheffield/Rotherham orientated web pages.

it is drinking after opening hours isnt it, is a lock in.

 

Er, after closing time, perhaps ......

AFTERBURN is the word used for after hours drinking, certainly not afterbird

Absolute cobblers. It is, and always has been afterBIRD.
