Cursing as Gaeilge

[RealMcCoy]

It's great listening to Scots and Irish people talking in the auld tongue, the they go and waste it by asking for a "coffee"

Ya won't disagree with you there

But that's not the point.
The curses or bad language of Cre na Cille would be unknown to such native speakers as we have left.

I have heard the ugly Bearlachas raighdeail. used to describe coitus.
Amazing that a language had to borrow for such a basic term.

What the fuck is Cre na Cille? Reminds me of the Witcher, (in fairness the game is beyond savage) but doesnt remind me of Ireland.

What the fuck are you banging on about?

Cille grand. Church. We have loads of those.

Cre????? That means nothing! It literally means nothing. What the fuck is a Cre?

Ok , I did change my avatar, I don't really remember how because it's very easy.

Sorry to be shite.

What should they order?
Buttermilk?

I'm sure they had buttermilk and so a word for it. But they didn't have a word for coffee. They should refer to it as MacCoffee or O'Coffee

If you click on your own username at the very top a box will pop down with various options. Click on 'Account Details' and you will see the change avatar option.

Never heard of Cre Guevara, the Argentinian of remote Irish ancestry?
