I don’t see the word nobhead so I consider it inaccurate

    Irish list if you want to take it from us like you took everything else from us

    1. Gom : mostly harmless fool
    2. Pleidhce (ply-kah) : unserious fool
    3. Eejit : idiot, but nice
    4. Jackeen : a waver of miniature union jacks
    5. Gom(b)ee(n) : a mostly harmless fool who is also small either in stature or importance.
    6. Mog: a backwards gom
    7. Headwreck : annoying, frustrating
    8. The Notions on him/her/them/etc : someone with a grand personal image
    9. Gowl : (a junction, specifically that between your legs)
    10. Langer (long story, TLDR don’t shoot monkeys)

    Edit: Lemmy markdown doesn’t let you count down but as a lazy half-arsed Irish stereotype I’m not fixing it

      Is it the Scots that often say “you absolute gowl” or do they use a similar word to that?

        I haven’t heard of that but given that Scottish Gaelic is pretty much just a dialect of Gaeilge, it’s possible. Although as an insult its more common in Munster which is at the least-related end of the dialect scale from Scottish.
