    Tá foram Gaeilge anois ar www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com agus chonaic mé gur bhunaigh duine éigin snáth ina scriobhann daoine na focail is fearr leo. Mar sin seo focal deas a chonaic mé ar na mallaibh:

    Socadán: duine fiosrach, a busybody. Soc = Srón, nose.


    An bhfuil tuilleadh agaibh?

    D'fhéach sé fiarsceoch orm - He looked sideways at me.

    Is maith liom an focal sin ar chuma éigin!

    Dá mbeadh Sex and the City á aistriú go Gaeilge, d'fhéadfaidis " Ag bualadh leathair sa chathair" a thabairt air!

    If Sex and the city was being translated into Irish, they could call it "Ag bualadh leathair sa chathair" - it rhymes!
