what is a girl who is a howya

[Skids]

I think what you're getting at is a mispronunciation of the word '*****'. However, I can't think in an Irish accent so I'm probably totally wrong.

Due to the fine and upstanding editing skills of Answer Bank, my answer, above, has been rendered totally meaningless. The ***** is supposed to be a word thats spelt * * * * *.

[Skids]

That's just great. How about this....
w-h-o-r-e.

Dubliners often greet people with "How are you?" which, said quickly in their accent, sounds like howya. Maybe it just means someone who's cheerful!
