Yes it's that time again. First, some useful slang terms to know:
Irish to proper English:
Gerrup ouwwa that! - Oh come off it!
Janey Mac! - Ooh, my word!
Would you ride her? - Would you enjoy spending an intimate evening with that lady?
And now for some Irish words worth knowing:
Irish to English:
Bróga = Shoes
Crann = Tree
Gúna = Dress
Léim = Jump
Go gcreime cúnna ifrinn do bhall fearga = May the hounds gnaw at your manly part
As ever I hope you found this week's edition of Fab Vocab informative as well as stimulating.
