gaeilge

The Irish word for the Irish language. It's like a dying grandma trying to stay alive because of a TV presenter (Hector O hEochagain) who won't shut up about it on TG4.

'I can speak Gaeilge, sort of... if I ignore the words I don't know.'

'TG4 is the only reason this language isn't dead yet.'

'Hector O hEochagain is the reason I still care about this language.'

The ancient Gaelic language of Ireland. It was nearly killed by the English, who treated it like a bad smell. Now it's back because of people who still think it's cool, even if they can't speak it properly.

'My grandpa speaks Gaeilge like it's a second language... but it's not.'

'English is just a fancy version of Gaeilge that got a makeover.'

'200,000 people say they speak it, but I bet most of them are lying.'
