Crusties

n.

Heard in Clare

A tree-hugging, stripey-sock wearing, unshaven hippy, with long dreadlocks under a tea cosy, army surplus clothing and multiple nose piercings. Often spotted queuing for dole.

Ah slur, we'll be here all day with all the crusties around!

Posh English

Good grief, we shall be detained here indefinitely with all these eccentric environmentalists about the place!
