Shanter "noun": Generic Portsmouth term for any ale house.


I am popping out for a quick shant - I am going to the pub for a beer.

I have been on the shant since 9 this morning - I am inebriated due to my desire to drink alcohol from an innapropriate time of the day.

I am totally shanted - blow me, I seem to have vomitted all over the cat again!

Feel free Mockney! There are a few Portsmouth exiles in the ED area (and yes, we are all obese drug addicts!) so you may get some knowing looks when using the term, but as you point out, it can be used instead of 3 alternative words so it must be good!


13 mins until I am out of here for my particular shant! Rye Tavern Garden me thinks!


SHANT ON!

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
