The weather report was brilliant . I was not sure when she mentioned Hookers , what she meant as in Donegal , a hooker is a small sail boat . Also her managing to use the bad weather as a reason for Irelands great poets and writers , while the Americans being gombeen`s , (A Irish slang term for an Idiot ) . Just surprised she did not have anything to say about the English .

She didn’t say anything about the English because we would not understand and besides, when it’s raining, our prostitution are allowed to “work from home” so long as they wear a mask.

I thought she said gumby-ed, as in gumby and Pokey.

When I was a Navvy , we would sometimes be working in the red light areas . I was terrified of the ladies of the night , especially when they spoke to me . I would always tell them that they claim to be the oldest profession , while , if they read the bible , they would see that fruit pickers really are .

No , The lass said Gombeen . The Irish have lots of ways to say someone is an Idiot (Eejit) Ape , Ludder , Flute , Spanner , Ape , Amadán , and so on . Even down to calling someone a "Head the ball" . You have to imagine the expression of someone heading a ball for that one , and that is after you have managed to get past the accent .

Your story with the street girls reminds me of a day long ago in Amsterdam, where I found myself in the red light district and was propositioned, along with my wife. There is no safety in numbers it seems - the supermarket ‘two for the price of one’ seems to apply to many walks of life. How she knew we were English I don’t know. I was wearing clogs at the time too in an effort to appear ‘local”. My disguise didn’t work. Nonetheless, I did learn that the Dutch equivalent of the Irish ‘Eejit’ is Kars-cop, meaning cheese-head, but my wife’s response was rooted somewhere deep down in Anglo-saxon English and is unrepeatable here.
