>Also, with a gender change, I would wear the "Belfast fishwoman" badge with glee and honor.
As (I hope) I said. the term was never used in anger. I can't really remember if it was a Belfast fishwoman or a Belfast fisherwoman. I have half a mind (no comments, thank you) to go to Belfast and seek one out. I'd love to meet one, if such a person still exists. I doubt my mother had ever seen one either. More than likely it was a phrase passed on from her mother who grew up in Ireland.
Rather than being upset by a Dundork loafer, it always made me wonder what one looked like.
I think a tour of Ireland must be on my holiday wish list. if only to uncover the words I heard as a child.
