    Seeing as you are implying I'm a muppet and you don't know me in the least my friend......may I suggest that only muppets(like yourself !) name call or maybe you've got a mentality of a 10 yr old.

    Dundalk?! That could be the answer either

    Time to up the ante a bit.

    onomatopoeia When a word describes a sound, and sounds like the sound. e.g. Quack

    tmesis When a word is put in the middle of another word. e.g. abso-bloomin'-lutley

    Granted, they don't pop up in everyday conversations.

    I dont think so. Seán Beacher's book has some explaination in it I think (Adam?) about it coming from India?

    My fav word word would be an Irish word intuigthe which does translate compleatly into Anglo-Saxon but means something along the lines of instantly understood, a given (well kinda). Hard to explain.
    Oh no not them again

    Yeah Sean, there are a few words like that which I like too.
    Citóg being one of them.
    As far as I know there's no word in the English language for a left-handed person.

    So, that would be "intuitive" then? I instantly understood it. It was a given.

    Ta-dah! usage & definition! bonus points for me!

    My favourite word is "loquacious".

    It means full of sh*te. Uncanny, No?

    On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"

    And they nearly did.
