Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Ohhhhh I have one too.... And this comes from my own life..... Luck of the Irish... On St. Patrick's day if you're any part Irish... Never wish for something... Such as.... Oh a baby girl that looks just like you 'cept with light eyes and light hair while standing next to a drunk Irishman... Cause I did that.. And almost a year to the day later my daughter Fionna was born.... Then I find out that My mother's grandmother came from Ireland.... Fionna is almost 9 now and has all the bravado of the Irish, and the mouth of one too... <rolls eyes.> watch what you wish for you just might get it... On the other hand from what I've seen most Irish families are ones that are very loyal to each other... And that is a richness that not many today can say they have... So I guess to me the Luck of the Irish means that I was lucky enough to have hot blood and be stubborn as all get outs.. Not to mention the innate ability to smell Guinness from a football field away... Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Maybe this is one of those sayings or words that TIME and repetition has totally changed for the opposite meaning. Ie, Luck of the Irish, meant " bad luck " ! For instance, originally " awful " meant " full of awe " , now it has a negative connotation.

Anita Aaah, words, I love ‘em. A penthouse was originally a pentice, your sweetheart was originally your sweetard, a window was a wind door, and my favorite, which I wondered about for years: why is a butterfly called a butterfly? What does it have to do with butter? Answer: nothing at all – it was originally called a flutter-by.
