If you have any others yourself Bríd, I'd love to hear them.

If I think of any more I will.

Seaimpín

I think that has become an accepted Irish word, rather than Béarlachas.

I don't think I've heard that word before.

Does a seaimpín drink seaimpéin and would he know the difference between the two when he'd finished the bottle? :mrgreen:

Oh yeah true, actually all of my words are really just borrowings. Especially considering that some of them have entirely or slightly changed meaning. They're no more Béarlachas than rendezvous is a Francicism. In fact really most of the words in the article are just borrowings. To my mind Béarlachas is more using English grammar and syntax.
