Irish Translation Forum

Okay, TOTALLY against my personality, I am opening myself up for total humilitation with what may seem to some a really ignorant question. For me, in my quest to learn more about my heritage (I am by ancestry for the last 20 trackable generations English, Scots, and Irish) I am curious to know what the little terms beneath people's names here mean. What for example is a Giostaire, Craiceáilte, Gaeilgeóir, etc. The terms are all quite beautiful in their own right, I just want to know what they, and others in the list, translate to in American English. Please be gentle.

no problem...one of our Craiceáilte members here used to always say "Doras feasa fiafraigh" (The door to knowledge is enquiry)

Craiceáilte = Crazy
Laoch na nGael = Warrior of the Gael
Giostaire = a chatty, childish old man
Gaeilgeóir = Irish speaker
Anseo = here, so "anseo again" is a mix of Irish and English "here again"
Scéalaí Mór = Grand Storyteller

they're all a little toungue in cheek, like we are

any others I missed?

Thank you! This language is so cool, I'm really enjoying reading over the posts, and checking out the language translations!
