NaBloPoMo Day 3: That means thank you in Irish - or?
Was talking to Mom & Dad the other day and Pop starts talking about how, one time long ago, they were in Ireland. Pop chatted up a farmer and asked the guy to teach him something in Irish. The farmer said, well you should learn Póg mo thóin which means "Kiss my Ass." And sure, you could see how that would come in handy.
Fast forward and it's raining. So Mom & Dad go to a pub to dry off. Pop sits down at the bar and tells the bartender he's learned a couple words in Irish. The bartender is game. He says, what'd you learn?
Pop says, "Póg mo thóin"
The bartender says, "oh yes, that means Thank you."
