What does "beour" mean in Irish slang?
It is used in Irish English (Hiberno-English), particularly in Dublin and urban areas, to mean a woman or girl, often implying attractiveness or used as a term for a girlfriend or female partner. People typically say "She's a fine beour" or "I'm meeting my beour later." The term originated in 20th century Irish slang, possibly from Irish Traveller or Dublin inner city speech, and remains common in casual conversation, though it can be considered informal or slightly objectifying.
Examples
That beour over there caught my eye.
