The Meaning of Lifford

Muise...

Yesterday, on a bus somewhere near Dublin, I saw a sign for Nurney and thought it was a very cute little name - it sounds like the get-better kiss mammies give to small children with minor cuts and bruises.

Douglas Adams compiled a dictionary of things that should have words, but don't, and he matched them to British place names.

We have some great names here - what would Oola mean, or Sneem, or some strange-sounding place near you?

I know well that someone will write Muff

There is a village in County Limerick called Hospital.

Lifford's claim to fame is that:

a) It is the county town of Donegal, and

b) It is across the river from Strabane.

Muff is 'magh'. It means a flat field or a plain.

There is a housing development called Muff Crescent, in....Nobber, Co.Meath.

I'd love to live in 69.

Mayo wouldn't be any old plain though, it's specifically of yew trees.

Nurney is an awful name, and the Irish above it looks like 'urinal'.
