Talk:lairy

RFV — failed
"Of or pertaining to a lair; lair-like." Supposedly UK usage. I am from there and have never heard it (but I'm quite familiar with the other UK sense, meaning something like "grumpy"). Equinox 00:46, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think we use lairy in this sense, any more than we would use denny to mean "of or pertaining to a den". Of course, someone will now find some joke usage of both!    D b f  i  r  s   09:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
