(le Róislín) Hot dogs or hot terriers? Hmm. Madraí teo nó brocairí teo? One phrase of the two phrases above simply means dogs who are hot, mar shampla, madraí fadfhionnaidh, iad b’fhéidir amuigh faoin aer lá te, b’fhéidir sa ghaineamhlach nó i stát mar Arizona nó New Mexico nó i dtír mar Mhailí atá ar cheann…
