what do irish people call a mustache?

Question

I was watching this Irish film last night and the girl in it kept calling a mustache a 'ranny' or something like that. I thought it was pretty funny how they call a mustache a different thing, i just wanted to know the exact spelling of the word or did i hear it wrong???

Answer 1

Ronnie (n): moustache - after movie star, Ronald Coleman

I don't know what they call it, but I think they use it to keep from drowning in whiskey.
