Mind your ceebawdeen.
Yes, I have a dropeen of tea too, but we are careful
not to confuse poteen with poitin (also spelt poteen )
which ,as you probably know, is our illicit spirit
which is always made by a scruffy man up in the
mountains somewhere - hence the "Mountain Dew" that
The Pogues and Dubliners rattle on about.
I 'm afraid Alli doesn't take an -een so well, what
with it ending in a vowel, but Tomeen Waits for sure
does. I have a brother in law who is Tomeen, whose
neighbour is
Seaneen. In Seaneen's case he is about twenty stone, a
mmassive man, so the -een is a bit ironic, like some of
the big lads here called Tiny.
In some places, you also take your father's name to
distinguish you from others, so Pat Murphy's daughter
Mary would be known as Mary Pat Murphy.
In my rural Galway idiom, I might have a "small
peesheen oo a muffineen" instead of a small piece of a
muffin. The crumbs might be eaten by a "mousheen"
instead of a mouse. When young we played "housheens"
but we shtopped when we got older .
This is not all over Ireland,of course, only in parts.
