Fiddle/Violin?

Attested to be from the Italian verb buscare, "to procure".

I thought buscare was a kind of toast.

Punch in the Irish context is whiskey mixed with water or tea and/or a variety of other ingredients, often served warm. (In the USA, punch is a sweet, non-carbonated soft drink served at parties, sometimes "spiked" with alcohol). Punch, in the Chicago context, is what you get in your jaw when you say something stupid.

Porter is the same as stout (e.g. Guinness)

I'm guessing "Séan O'Neil" is not the name your parents gave you

Erwin Hochleitner or Xaver Gruber or Leopold Obermair are more likely...

@ No E: Well I think No E is not your real name, but if you would translate my real name into real irish, than you'll get my forum name. So don't talk about my name if you don't know him. The second thing is that I live in an area where you have nearly no other ITM-fans and players!!!
I live in a small village an the next irish pub is 15 miles away!!!

Gentlemen, please brace yourself!
(hmm, "Brace yourself": I want this to be the title of my first solo album. Anyone knowing a tune with that name?)

"Brace yourself?" You mean, the Irish man's foreplay?

Séan-

Sorry, no offense or criticism intended. Please keep asking questions, it's the only way to learn some of the "secret code" of ITM.

Kind regards,

PS- We may have to talk about that Strongbow avatar.
