Li: | And I'm Li. Did you stay much longer last night at the office party? |
Neil: | Yes I did. After you left we went on to a bar in the City. |
Li: | Oh sounds good! We had an office party last night. I left early but Neil and a few colleagues went on to a bar in the city of Londonthe financial district. How was it? |
Neil: | Actually it was pretty bad. There were all these traders getting drunk and shouting a lot about their cars and expensive clothes and holidays. You know, they were just really lairy. |
Li: | They were what? |
Neil: | Lairy. |
Li: | Lairy. This adjective is used to describe people, usually men, behaving in a loud, excited and slightly aggressive way. So it wasn't much fun? |
Neil: | No, they made it miserable for everyone else in the place, to be honest. |
Li: | So the bar was full of drunk and noisy men. They were talking loudly about their expensive things. They sound very lairy. Here's another example of the word. |
