Pog Mo Thoin san Daingean

October 6th, 2006 by Donncha

“Kiss my ass!” That’s what “póg mo thóin” means. This is from a shop display in , Co. . The town, also known by it’s name, An Daingean, is in an 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.

Both Ryan and Daragh got their free mini cards from moo.com but I’m still waiting on mine. They have been shipped so they’ll arrive soon I hope. Check out Daragh’s shot of his cards for an imaginative way of photographing them!
