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.

    I need some of these phonetically. Also eijit sounds like something very common to like hillbilly type talk from the us. Also I totally need something to use for flag wavers in general. Stupid showy nationalism instead of caring about the true core good philosophies around the best of a society.
