Pokerya?

Can anyone tell me what ぽけりゃ (pokerya) means? I tried doing a google search and came up blank... but I did get a lot of hits on vehicles in the image search. Does it have to do with a chassis, or something?

Thanks for the help! x3

Rebby,

What was the context? I doubt you saw it on its own.

It is most likely the corrupted "-kereba" form of the "-ppoi" adjectival ending. Tell us the full phrase/sentence, and someone will be able to tell you the precise meaning.

「アイツを誘い出すためには本物じゃなくても
ぽけりゃいいのよ　ぽけりゃ。」

Contextually, the speaker's talking about creating a fake vehicle to lure someone out. Thanks. ^^

Rebby,

It sounds like you have already correctly guessed the meaning, but with the full sentence, it's now possible to say for certain...

The "ぽけりゃ" here is short for "本物ぽけりゃ", which is a colloquial corruption of "本物っぽければ".
In other words, "It doesn't have to be real - it just has to look real".

Thanks so much, Dave! Now I owe you my firstborn. xD
