Yer man, yer wan: Person whose name has slipped the speaker's mind or whose identity is evident from the context of the conversation. Example: "I was talking to your man in the pub last night; you know: your man! Your man with the leg on him [i.e. a person with a limp]" A feature of Dublin speech that most foreigners find infuriating.
