*Brian politely refrains from mentioning Anna's gas incident and how it may be related to "finding one's bum with their hands"*
I'll also refrain from mentioning Teri K's idea to play a whistle out of one's bum about a year ago! She had it all worked out WAY too well!

Blaine I thought it was Sean's nose, but Brian set me right- but if you are hanging a Shaw, then I guess you'll use a noose-at the same time squeezing all the gas out of Shaw who might be hanging to close to a campfire at a pow-wow. And I thought pow - wow was comicspeak for a punch not a f--t.
Now, Anna wants to know how to pronounce "Feadog." Knowing that the Irish alphabet has 18 letters, and vowels and consonants have a relational relationship to each other as they are in the word and can affect the pronunication of either; being long or short in relantionship to the diphthongs and their postition in the word and relationship to either the vowel or consonant, or both depending on the gender of the word and the context in which it is being used. There a a gazillion diphthongs (not dips in thongs)in the Irish language.
Now saying all that, I haven't a clue how to pronounce the word. But since so much of the Irish culture was past on orally, there might be a folklore history of the word.
The story I heard was that there was a child who was missing his/her front baby teeth and and spoke with a lisp, was trying to whistle (lips) to attract a dogs attention. He/she tried and tried. Finally an adult approached and asked what are you doing, the child said "fe (see) a dog, ishtel on't ork. So it came to pass (not gas)that when you feadog you whistle. Not to say that Feadog whistles have a canine attribute about them.
But is lilting a tung or sune, or tune that wants to be song i.e tong or song that wants to be tune i.e. sune. Knowing that Sean is only making up nonsense words that sound like music. In that case would Sean Know before we put the noose around his neck to squeeze the gas out of him with his Feadog up his ----.

Yikes! Wait a minute. This needs clarification. The conversation was about uilleanns and what they were like to play. I said it was a love/hate relationship, and they could be a real pain in the arse. I was then reminded that they are bellows-driven, and if they were a pain in the arse that maybe I should consider not using an orifice instead of my elbowOn 2001-08-22 16:56, Brian Lee wrote:
