minus-squareThe Octonaut@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·edit-222 hours agoIrish list if you want to take it from us like you took everything else from us Gom : mostly harmless fool Pleidhce (ply-kah) : unserious fool Eejit : idiot, but nice Jackeen : a waver of miniature union jacks Gom(b)ee(n) : a mostly harmless fool who is also small either in stature or importance.
