<i>Taing sibh</i>, Lunatock!! Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh!!
If any of you are planning on going out tonight and celebrating in true Irish fashion, here are a few phrases that you might use (though I doubt anybody will actually find someone that <i>speaks</i> or <i>understands</i> Gaelic):
<i>An bhfuil tú ar meisce fós?</i> = Are you drunk yet?
<i>Pionta Guinness, le do thoil.</i> = A pint of Guinness, please.
<i>Tá tú go h-álainn.</i> = You're beautiful.
<i>Sláinte chugat.</i> = Good health be with you. (F*** Bennigan's on this one...)
<i>A ceathair tuille, buidhe.</i> = Four more, please.
<i>Feud faigh bhur àireamh?</i> = Can I get your number?
I'll leave after that one... nobody's probably gonna get to use any of 'em anyway... have fun though, everyone be safe, and <i>Rath Dé ort!</i> ("May the grace of God be with you!")
*EDIT - P.S., my name's Patrick McClellan, go figure...
