   They should go back to that. Darg sounds so much cooler, I call them dargs
   
   From H.G Wells 'The Invisible Man', written in 1897
   
   

   Hall had stood gaping. "He wuz bit," said Hall. "I'd better go and see to en," and he trotted after the stranger. He met Mrs. Hall in the passage. "Carrier's darg," he said "bit en."

   
   

   "Was you hurt, sir?" said Fearenside. "I'm rare sorry the darg–"
   
   "Not a bit," said the stranger. "Never broke the skin. Hurry up with those things."

   We have never said "dargs". That's the Irish.
