Tá mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge agus go dtí le déanaí cheap me go raibh seanfhocail, “Sean words”. Sean, mar shampla “a regular Joe” i mbéarla. 😄 #speirgorm

I’m learning Irish and until recently I thought seanfhocail (proverbs) was “Sean words”. Sean, like “a regular Joe” in English. (It’s not.)

As the ancient seanfhocail says "scratch a TERF to find a fascist. I think it was Peig herself who popularized this, fair play to her.

Gheibh sárachán rud nuair a bheas náireachán folamh.

Another one for @natlyon.bsky.social - It’s often that a person’s mouth broke their nose. You can add that to the beetle wisdom. Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile, Nat 😄 🎧 #seanfhocail
