Whats the funniest name in As Gaeilge you ever heard?

The Jammy dodger

For me? it has to be ''Cabaiste'' ( cabbage? ) for the surname ''caldwell''.

Any Irish name pronounced by an English television presenter tends to be hilarious.

Ferdia, because it was the name of a dog on my road growing up and years later I was at a wedding sitting at a table with a guy called Ferdia.

I would have preferred to be sitting across from the dog. That dog was a legend.

Was watching Pointless last week on bbc, Alexander Armstrong made a complete hash of "Dia duit" , something like dee-a do-it.

Poulavanogue near Clonmel Co.Tipperary.

The translation is young woman's hole :eek: ( apparently)

Aka a place where young women used to go and wash themselves .

I remember my Aunt (new to the area and not Irish speaking) telling an old man in Kerry where she recently had moved into( he apparently was interested in these place names) well it took him 10 minutes to get off the floor from the bout of uncontrollable laughter.

Can't imagine why you would think I was refferring to Poulamucka my story relates to Poulavanogue which translates as a total different meaning altogether you can find Poulavanogue here http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en-GB&ll=52.341789,-7.683392&spn=0.01775,0.038409&t=h&vpsrc=6&z=15

On the hills over Clonmel co Tipperary but I have to admit that the place itself is in Co.Waterford.

Yea I know Poulmucka spent 2 hours trying to get past the place one year and I did not find it all that funny.

I remember being told (in a Gaelscoil) that "duine gorm" was used because sometimes there's a blue "sheen" off (very) black people!

It's because they're not black, they're actually really really really dark blue!

Wouldn't duine donn make a lot more sense, especially seeing as how "black" people have actually got brown coloured skin.

Arent black people called blue people cause they play the blues music?

Apparently it's something to do with the colour of their skin in the shade. Either that or they confused them with smurfs.

Smurfs are real, by the way.

The thread title annoys me. Surely in as gaelige means in in Irish?
