"Kiss my ass!" That's what "póg mo thóin" means. This is from a shop display in Dingle, Co. Kerry. The town, also known by it's Irish name, An Daingean, is in an Irish speaking part of the country collectively known as An Gaeltacht.

If you're interested, you'd probably pronounce "póg mo thóin" in English as "pogue mahone".

Interesting trivia - The Pogues got their name from this short phrase.
