So, what is actually in the name?

Well, if one was doing the family

tree of a word and its hereditary

background, we would refer to

the department of etymology. It

is here we find its root often Latin

or Greek, but in the case of this

•title, it is Irish. BUT, the Oxford

dictionary removed the K after

The Good Friday Agreement so

as to nurture good relations with

with historical adversaries. It is

now officially Toponymic and it

means coming from a place that

is associated with the name. For

example Tullamore Dew is often

in error confused with Irish Mist

but when the English suffer from

foggy weather they always attribute

it to the Irish Cloud Factories, that is

because " Where west, each wind is

born, mischievous Gaels, with pots

of vapoured broth, disperse its brew

and laced with ancient potions concoct

a drape to cloak the Saxon horde " yes

we still employ Druid Chefs because no

matter what those British ******* do

they will never be able to stop the wind

that shakes the barley as long as they're

on the wrong side of the Emerald Isle.
