doest téigh trasna ort fein not mean go over yourself?

ones like tá tú piteog GAC agus tá tú bitseach GAC

[Lughaidh_Sheáin]

You can't say "tá tú" + a noun.
You are a bit** = Is bitseach thú.
You are a piteog = Is piteog thú.

An cloch is íochtaraí san fharraige go raibh trasna faoi do cheann.
May a stone in the deepest ocean be around your neck.

That reads jumbled up to me. Should it not be Go raibh an chloch is íochtaraí san fharraige faoi do cheann

That's how I heard the seanchaí in Donegal say it (bar the omitted séimhiú); "faoi do cheann" without the "trasna" seems incomplete to me.

I missed the trasna. I any case "trasna faoi" is not something I've heard before at all.

[An gal gréine]

It's certainly used in Donegal, as is the likes of
"tar amach as faoin tábla"...come out from under the table!

[Gumbi]

Sounds like Béarlachas to me. I'm unconvinced. Does anybody else have a opinion on this?

[An gal gréine]

Check out 'Caisleáin Óir' by Séamas Ó Grianna and in chapter 11 he desrcibes the moon coming out from under a cloud....níor luaithe a ceann amuigh as faoi néal aici ná bhí sí ina rith isteach faoi cheann eile.

I've heard this, or rather I've heard of it being used - more as an example of "here's something that sounds funny but is still actually right" than as part of everyday conversation. Can't say for sure that it's kosher, but I'm told it is!
