Go raibh maith agat! You guys have saved me from starting a thread with some stupid title like "Breasts in Irish".

And what would be stupid about such a title? Keep in mind you were perfectly happy to contribute to a thread with the title: 'cac' = sh*t or poo or as Féabar referred to it elsewhere, 'the potty thread'!

We await with interest with our notebooks at the ready! It could give a whole new meaning to 'flash' cards!

The Irish language normally does not carry the same hangups as those found in English. Thankfully, Irish speakers usually don't pass the slightest bit of remarks on many words regarded as 'vulgar' in English.
