Cúpla focal a day

  1. I wonder when I see posts like this, how many, if any, have ever used any of these?

    My guess: Zero

    I like Gaeilge by the way. I just fail to see anyone ever using these.

  2. I love it. This added so many new words to my vocabulary. It’s so cool that people are working hard to keep the language alive and meaningful. Not many speak it so it’s like belonging to a secret society. I get a thrill when I meet random speakers.

  3. Píotsa 🙂

    Coming from a Gaeltacht area, I can only imagine the looks of bewilderment you’d get if you used many of these words.

    I mean “réamhdeochanna”? I’ve never even heard anyone use the English (pre – drinks) version!

    And “chóisir iarshiamsa”? Nobody would know what the fuck you’re saying.

  4. Here’s some Ulster-Scots for you, it is a dialect of this Island after all:

    – Dya wana get sum chaps an go tae ma hoos fur da ride?

    (would you like to have an evening meal and come to my residence for coffee?)

    – Haul ma chaps while a take a slash on thon peeler cyar

    (Would you be so kind as to hold ones supper while one relieves himself on this constable of the queen’s vehicular transport?)

    – I’d ride the arse clean aff ya

    (You are the light of my life, your eyes glisten like a thousand moons and Caesar with all his legions could not keep me from you my love!)

    – yeooooooooooooo

    (oh dear that poor fellow seems to have broken his Waterford crystal glassware, I do hope he is okay)

  5. idk bout the phrases being used. But the outfits in those pictures are bang on. A simple red dress, ok yeah, and my man with a purple suit with a bright pink shirt, 70’s disco vibe with porno stash and matching purple vest, would have any lady gushing like a busted water pipe after a deep freeze, with this thermonuclear stud melting the floor beneath them as they come along.

    Forget disco fever, any man walking round with style like that is going to be causing a humanitarian crisis, like a walking reactor going critical, forget the Chernobyl cleanup, you’ll be needing a full country wide evacuation. You’ll need a 2nd Noah’s arc, i’m serious.

  6. I need the phonetic pronunciation for these. It’s been so long since I used Irish that I forget it’s ridiculous ways! I know that a bh has a v sound.

  7. peoples reaction to the lifting of restrictions shows where we are at as country, lets all go get pissed, if they wanted a neuralink to get into a pub people would get it
