Celtic columnist unwraps Naughty Little Book
“I was hooked!”
Columnist Dan MacDonald finally unwrapped his last Christmas gift: The Naughty Little Book of Gaelic: All the Scottish Gaelic You Need to Curse, Swear, Drink, Smoke and Fool Around, by Michael Newton.
Newton’s book “may not appear to be as deep and scholarly as … his earlier work, but it covers an area … generally glossed over and often completely ignored.”
“Now is your chance to discover the translation and perhaps add to your vocabulary. After all, when you can tell someone “buinneach o’n teine ort” you clearly have the upper hand.”
