...it doesnt matter what language....


Mine is "gliondar".....I was watching Joe Connolly on Reeling in the Years 1980 and that wonderful speech.  It means a wee bit more than happy...typical Irish word...hard to translate but you know what it means....

As Gaeilge  I like "Fite Fuaite" at the moment. It means all interlinked. I also like "trina cheile".

In English I llike "innit". 

In French I came across "quelle bande de blaireaux des putains de bordel de merde" recently and it means "what a F*n shower of F*ers"  and is very stylish .

I like unwieldy. It describes many of my methods. I also like altruistic, which doesn't.

Eluted is a great word.

And also, have had a few conversations over how to spell the next word, but, for me the best word ever is:

Futer, as in, havin an oul (any suggestions of a better spelling?)

And yoke is a pretty handy word as well
