I\u2019m rather stupefied by all the cultacha zomba\u00ed<\/strong>\u00a0for Halloween this year, so couldn\u2019t resist a few more mix\u2019n\u2019match phrases.\u00a0 Keep in mind that in all these cases, the word \u201czomba\u00ed<\/strong>\u201d is functioning as an adjective, so it comes after the main noun.\u00a0 In this case, unlike the previous costume match-up, which was completing the phrases in Irish, this one is simply linking the Irish to the English.\u00a0 T\u00e1 s\u00fail agam go mbainfidh sibh sult as!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, there\u2019s one extra entry in English, just to mix it up a little.<\/p>\n

As a result of all this zomba\u00edmh\u00e1ine<\/strong>, I wonder how the now-vintage Hooters song is doing these days (http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2LE0KpcP05I<\/a>).\u00a0 It inspired teideal an bhlag seo, p\u00e9 sc\u00e9al \u00e9.<\/strong>\u00a0 I doubt this Halloween\u2019s zombies paid much attention to its memorable line \u201cAll you zombies, hide your faces!\u201d\u00a0 I think they went more for the \u201cShow your faces!\u201d line!<\/p>\n

By the way, it occurred to me post-blog last time that \u201cstocamhonca\u00ed zomba\u00ed<\/strong>\u201d (a zombie sock-monkey, one of this year\u2019s popular costumes) could equally well mean \u201ca zombie\u2019s sock-monkey,\u201d that is, a toy sock-monkey belonging to a zombie. \u00a0To resolve that, I suppose one would have to determine whether zombaithe<\/strong> play with stocamhoncaithe<\/strong>.\u00a0 If so, context would have to be the final arbiter of the exact meaning of the phrase “stocamhonca\u00ed<\/strong> zomba\u00ed<\/strong>!”<\/p>\n
