    (is that grammatically correct, having a ? then a " then another ?).......and should i have another one after the close bracket symbol?

    Anyway......

    As Béarla

    flummoxed
    gumption
    cowflap
    rhythms (no vowels)
    macabre (because i don't know how to pronounce it properly)
    Galwegian
    szygy
    Edit: Oh and Rambunctiousness

    As Gaeilige

    Tuismitheoirí
    Thaispeáin
    Sceitimíni
    bronntanas
    termiméadar



    P.S..........all you Gaeligóirs, apologies for my spelling. My Irish is rustier than Chris Evans' shower soap.

    'Gowl', and it gets extra points because people have no idea what i'm on about over here.

    And 'End', as in, "i will end you if you don't stop being such a gowl", i have no idea where it came from, but it's slipped into my vocabulary, and i think it's got a nice ring to it.

    Zoonose is a funny word.

    Gumption
    Moist

    Someone mentioned 'innuendo' - that's great. For some reason I pronounce it (in my head) as inn-you-ENNNN-do! With the exclamation mark, in an accent that isn't mine. Must've heard it somewhere.
