(le R\u00f3isl\u00edn)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last blog we talked about “isp\u00edn\u00ed<\/strong>” and other breakfast foods, including some brief references to “uibheacha friochta,” “uibheacha scrofa,” “uibheacha scallta,” <\/strong>and “uibheacha bogbhruite.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at a few more terms referring to eggs, ways to cook them, types of eggs, and maybe a seanfhocal<\/strong> or two.\u00a0 Can you think of any proverbs about eggs?<\/p>\n

So here are some egg words and phrases to match up.\u00a0 The word bank has the English term, and the list has the Irish terms.\u00a0 And, since I find it hard to resist, don’t be surprised if you see a few American diner lingo terms describing eggs.\u00a0 Actually, I’d love to cover the lingo from “Abbot and Costello” to “Zeppelins in a Fog,” but even I have to draw the line somewhere.\u00a0 “Abbot and Costello” agus<\/strong>\u00a0“zeppelins in a fog” mar bhia?” a deir t\u00fa?\u00a0<\/strong> T\u00e1 na haistri\u00fach\u00e1n go gn\u00e1thBh\u00e9arla (agus go Gaeilge, le haghaidh an chraic) th\u00edos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Banc Focal:<\/strong> a) omelette, b) Adam and Eve on a raft, c) boiled egg, d) ovipositor, e) hard-boiled egg, f) goose egg, g) Indian egg-eating snake, h) bad egg, bad bird, i) eggnog (OR egg-flip), j) chopped egg, k) Adam and Eve on a raft and wreck ’em!<\/p>\n

1. ubh chruabhruite<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. uibheag\u00e1n<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. \u00c1dhamh agus \u00c9abha ar rafta<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. ubh gh\u00e9<\/strong> [uv yay, this “slender gh” being pronounced like a “y”]<\/p>\n

5. ubh bheirithe<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. ubhlonnaitheoir<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. \u00c1dhamh agus \u00c9abha ar rafta agus “scrios” iad!<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. Drochubh, droch\u00e9an.<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. bleathach uibhe<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. nathair ubhiteach Indiach<\/strong> [NAH-hirzh UV-ITCH-ukh IN-djee-ukh]<\/p>\n

11. ubh mhionghearrtha<\/strong> [uv VIN-YAR-huh, silent m, silent g, and silent t]<\/p>\n

And a few final bits of food for thought, none of which I’ve found in use online: ubh Bheinidict? ubh f\u00fa ghiung? uibheacha teobhlaiste? *ubhdhra\u00edocht<\/strong>? OK, I patterned that last one on “marbhdhra\u00edocht”<\/strong> (necromancy) but have to admit I haven’t seen the word in a natural context.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0None of which I’ve found online, so far, ar a laghad<\/strong>.\u00a0 “Lachtveigeat\u00f3ir<\/strong>” and “veigeat\u00f3ir uibheacha<\/strong>” do have a slight presence online, but so far, I haven’t seen “*ubhlachtveigeat\u00f3ir<\/strong>” or “*lacht-veigeat\u00f3ir uibheacha<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

And I haven’t found “shirred” eggs anywhere, although I suppose “b\u00e1c\u00e1ilte<\/strong>” would do.\u00a0 “Ramekin,” however, is quite straightforward — “raimic\u00edn<\/strong>.”\u00a0 And on that James Beard-y, Wolfgang Puck-y, Nero Wolfe-y, Wodehouse-y note, sl\u00e1n go f\u00f3ill – R\u00f3is\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agus na freagra\u00ed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1e. ubh chruabhruite<\/strong>, hard-boiled egg<\/p>\n

2a. uibheag\u00e1n<\/strong>, omelette<\/p>\n

3b. \u00c1dhamh agus \u00c9abha ar rafta<\/strong>, Adam and Eve on a raft (dh\u00e1 ubh scallta ar th\u00f3sta<\/strong>, two poached eggs on toast)<\/p>\n

4f. ubh gh\u00e9<\/strong>, a goose egg<\/p>\n

5c. ubh bheirithe,<\/strong> a boiled egg, but note that “hard-” and “soft-” boiled usually use “bruite,”<\/strong> not “beirithe”<\/strong><\/p>\n

6d. ubhlonnaitheoir<\/strong>, ovipositor<\/p>\n

7k. \u00c1dhamh agus \u00c9abha ar rafta agus “scrios” iad!, <\/strong>Adam and Eve on a boat and wreck ’em (dh\u00e1 ubh scrofa ar th\u00f3sta<\/strong>, two scrambled eggs on toast)<\/p>\n

11j. ubh mhionghearrtha, <\/strong>chopped egg<\/p>\n

Agus na t\u00e9arma\u00ed <\/strong>“diner lingo”:<\/p>\n

Abbot and Costello (“Ab agus Mac Coisteala!”)<\/strong>, p\u00f3nair\u00ed b\u00e1c\u00e1ilte agus brocair\u00ed teo,\u00a0<\/strong>baked beans and\u00a0hot dogs<\/p>\n

Zeppelins in a fog (Seipl\u00edn\u00ed i gceo), isp\u00edn\u00ed agus br\u00fait\u00edn<\/strong>, sausages and mashed potatoes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
