tap-room lawyer


a mouthy know-it-all who frequents the workman’s bar of a pub and has an opinion on anything and everything, especially when someone requires advice about something the majority of us are not qualified to answer. oh yes the tap-room lawyer’s always on hand, he’ll usually scrounge a pint, blow smoke in your face, relate an untold number of anecdotes and basically bore you sh-tless repeating his ‘considered opinion’.
of low social status this individual stands out because he is usually the laughing-stock of the pub, a ‘character’, a ‘one’, tolerated but g-d only knows why. what they need is a kick up the f-ckin’ jacksi
did you hear about the new byp-ss that’s being planned?
yeah, the tap-room lawyers are in there theorising about the effect it’ll have on the town.
why the h-ll didn’t you phone the consulate?!
fred ‘the jock’ told me i wouldn’t need a visa..
what?! don’t listen to that f-ckin’ tap-room lawyer. what the h-ll would that w-nker know about travelling round europe? the furthest he’s been is an illegal copy of the ‘sound of music’!
