To be fairs... The oval office is insane and a crazy town To be fairs
I've made myself a wee sticker collection book with greaseproof paper pages, so I can collect all the stickers I buy at conventions and art fairs in one place until I know where I want to use them 😊
Fairs is a clipped British slang version of fair's fair — an appeal to basic fairness or equal treatment. You'd say it when someone's pushing their luck or getting more than their share. Short, punchy, and instantly understood in British English, it doubles as both a mild protest and a reminder that everyone should get a square deal.
You've had three turns already — fairs, let someone else have a go.

A Scottish expression meaning to get what you deserve — to receive your just reward or punishment, depending on context. A 'fairing' was originally a gift or treat bought at a fair, so 'getting your fairing' implied receiving something you had coming to you. The phrase can be used approvingly (someone getting credit or reward for good work) or as a grim satisfaction when a wrongdoer finally faces consequences. It has a sharp, morally satisfying ring to it in Scottish vernacular.
(Ireland, slang, vulgar) Well done; congrats; nice one.
(Scotland) To get what one deserves.
A funfair is the British and Irish term for a travelling amusement park — that annual spectacle of flashing lights, rickety rides, candy floss, and overpriced hook-a-duck stalls that rolls into town on a lorry convoy and transforms a car park or common into a pocket-sized carnival. The word perfectly captures the combination of fun and festivity, and it carries a nostalgic warmth for anyone who spent childhood evenings screaming on the Waltzer or trying to win a goldfish.
