Dance of the Magpie - Pronunciation and Slang

    So I have realized that since Gaelic names, Irish slang, and Celtic lore is not exactly a common subject, I think it would be easier to have a reference in hand. This thread is strictly for the pronunciation for names and their meanings, as well as the meanings for the slangs.

    Do not post on this thread. If you have any questions, or find that you still do not understand how to say certain things or what certain phrases mean, then PM me.

    I will not have every single slang phrase/word and I certainly will not post every single Gaelic and Celtic name there is out there and leave you guessing. This is for helping you, not making you even more confused. As such, it will be divided into the chapters and the different categories. Names are first, Faery types second, and then slang.

    If you are here, but have not read the book and thus do not know what I am talking about, click here.
