""Faith, he's caught me again! Wait till I get the sassenach into the annals of Tageruach, the hagiographer; I'll give him enough of the Irish idiom to make him more respectful."
A word mentioned quite a while ago, but perhaps new to some of the WASPS who have joined since. A Gaelic term, not of edearment, for Anglo-Saxons.
