Favourite Irish word?

[noby]

Conas ata d'athair, ag marcaiocht, pog mo hole,
Pog mo thoin

[Ash]

I gotta go with ...

sneachta - snow
ag súgradh - to play
ispini - sausages
ciarog - beetle

[hamish]

I remember a saying we used to hear in school a lot years and years ago. I understand the first bit but it went something like.........

Pog mo thon agus criam mo cuisle??? (phonetic: cream muh cush-leh)

Anyone ever heard of it??? Sounded like a makey-uppy Irish expression.:D

You've an extra "d" in there, apparently. Won't speculate as to whether that's all you've got in there. ;)

I always liked the phrase "ar nós na gaoithe", meaning "as quick as the wind", it used to come in handy for the old school essays once upon a time!

[holidaysong]

Not only my favourite word in Irish but my favourite word in any language, it has got to be "Sneachta".

Surprised noone's posted "feic", and "foc-ail" yet, I must say.

Didn't do much in the way of research on that one! ;)

All these dirty ones have reminded me of another classic - "Craiceann a bhualadh le duine éigin", to have sex with. Literally "To beat the skin with someone" (or possibly "meeting of the skins").
