General
your man
What does your man mean?
Universal Irish stand-in for any male whose name you've forgotten, can't be bothered to say, or assume the listener already knows. Has zero possessive meaning. The female version is 'your one'. Confuses tourists endlessly.
"Your man on the telly last night, he was on great form."
Frequently asked questions
Why 'your' if he's not mine?
Hiberno-English uses 'your' as a vague conversational pointer, not a possessive. Same logic in 'your one' for a woman.
