Here in the North of Ireland it means what it says being rough.

Same here in London

I could be wrong but I think no matter where you are from calling someone rough is definitely not  complimentary.

Perhaps she means someone who effs & jeffs all the time and moans & complains is Cool and someone who tries to keep happy and supports others is Rough.

Thanks you are so helpful   NOT!

I take it to mean no stranger to prison,pub brawls and frequenting The Jeremy Kyle Show with the greasy combed look

Complete stranger to books,baths and chastity

I took it to mean "common" not rough which is more apt imo

Was Keva right to call Corin "rough"?

it means the same i live in the south


all the girls i work with say they think shes a disgrace to Ireland worse than Jedward i said that i quite like Jedward

IMO no she was anything but right to call Corin rough....Actually Caoimhe is rougher than Corin but being from the suburbs she probably thinks she's above that.

I agree with those girls Shizzle,she is a darn embarrassment imo,.

Didn't Caiomhe's own mother call her "my favourite Slapper"?
I would have thought a Slapper could be thought of as Rough

Thats what it means where I come from....

Common, thats what it means on the east coast.

Ok, common,thanks well I guess Corin is quite common but Keva is a b***h

It means the same in South Wales.

yes, yes she is.

Corin's neither rough nor common. Are we going to have a discussion about the class system, because that's what it boils down to. She's cheery, helpful, polite. What makes her common?

Who would you prefer as a neighbour, Caiomhe Glum or Corin Cheerful?

In reply to you Cologne I guess idolising superchav Katie Price is a good start.Its her dress sense that screams common.

So you agree with Coaimhe then OP?, just needing to clarify the meaning of her comment was the purpose of the thread?.
I'd also like to add  so what if she gets what she wants when she gets out....Caoimhe can't even do that given her pathetic proposal asking her BF to marry her in the BB house.

I think Coamhe was disingenuous to say it.I also think of rough as different to common.....common is not anything like as bad as rough.

But everyone else seems to think it means the same thing which has  me.

ooooooooooooo get you!

Where I come from there are various meanings to the word:-

you can look as *rough as a badger's a*se* the morning after the night before
you can be *rough* a la Jeremy Kyle...fond of a punch up and gobbing off
or....*common*...based upon your appearance, accent and where you live.....I think that this last is what Keever means...and the woman needs a good look in the mirror before she calls anyone else names.

There's nothing rough about Corin.

I meant to put  after the NOt but something happened and I didnt manage it ,didnt mean it in a grumpy way at all

True

I agree Kaytee  how shallow people are Corin is lovely, green eyed monster comes to mind with them,  never judge a cover by its book  you will mostly always get it wrong.

no worries 

I don't think so either tbh....Those 3 who were sat tearing her to shreds ,every second word a swear word like they are taking part in a profanity competition,they're rough,much rougher than how they perceive Corin imo.

I think we all judged Corin wrongly on first impressions, based upon her channeling Jordan, but we were all so wrong and discovered that pretty quickly, unfortunately some HMs refuse to see that Corin is a genuinely nice person and not as bitter and twisted as the rest of them

Corin keeps a tidy, clean home (her mother has mentioned this as why Corin got annoyed when her bedding was mixed with other HMs' in a pile) while Caiomhe has hardly lifted a finger to keep the BB House clean. This would make Caiomhe rough & ready while Corin takes pride in her home.

If I was to say someone was 'rough'  I'd either mean she looked like she needed a good wash OR she looked like she'd be the type to have your eyes out.  So I'm not sure way Caoimhe meant it.  Either way, pot/kettle.

Just an uncut diamond  

Whereas Caoimhe doesn't even compare to a lump of coal 

Gawd I can't get used to you using that avi  

Whatever way it was meant, I'm sure it wasn't complimentary. This all started because Corin showed them she can lose it like anyone else, it shocked them all.If she had said nothing and, she'd have been fake, she blew up and she's rough. Keeva may regret saying that when Corin gets out   
I'm more inclined to say Keeva is common/rough with all that effing and jeffing that comes out of her nasty gob.

A lump of coal is a thing of wonder - it can keep you warm and  that is a lot more than the Ice Queen

Dame A you are right. In Dublin to call someone rough implies that they are from an inferior background and might be prone to violence, using the word 'common' means pretty much the same thing. A very, very nasty thing for Caoimhe to say.

Keeva knows exactly what it means Fairfax, Keeva called Corin it the other night and Shabby looked shocked. She then tried to explain in whispers/code what it means in English, Keeva knew  what it meant alright.

Corin's not rough but she dresses common.Thats not supposed to be derogatory....its what everyone said about her when she first arrived..there was a lot of OMG whats she wearing,the hairpieces etc..coupled with the way she talks,and I dont mean her accent,its her uneducated superficiality.

However her breasts may be fake but i dont think her character is.Shes warm and supportive,and pretty mature in her behaviour.

Kevin on the other hand looks down on her when she should be looking inward.

rough..

Is Corin being called rough maybe something to do with her accent...do they think we're all rough 'up North'...????

Corins accent may seem strange to some people, as might Nathans, but not to me, because we all talk like that up round these parts, I must add not quite as mardy voiced as Corin but the accent is still the same...I don't think she's rough or common, she's just a nice person who Keeva is jealous of...
