A good person that you've ever wanted. Sham is a person that always be there whenever you need someone to talk to. He is sweet and romantic but not boring. He is not handsome but pleasurable. He likes to joke but he knows when to be serious. He knows well how to treat a woman. However, He never gives up getting girl’s heart he is on. But be careful, he is full of secrets. He is intelligent enough to take you as a donkey. He is kind but don’t dare to hope that he will be honest to you. Sham is a reliable person but not trustable.

Sham

Sham is generally used in Ireland, it is almost the Irish equivalent of the British Chav.

Sham's are rare bucks hey. Generally seen out at the disco steaming. They can be seen during the week diffing on the roads like the mad header shams that them thar bucks are.

The mating call of a sham is a sham-flick. A sham-flick is when you wave your hand around like a mad cunt while clicking your fingers. This is deemed to be more skillful to shams than any other art form.

Normal Person 1: Hey! Who's that person over there, diffing in a twin-cam, clicking his fingers in an absurd way, listening to Lil' Wayne, wearing a bright Nike shirt whilst looking like a complete knob.

Normal Person 2: Oh, that's a sham
