Stan Carey<p>&quot;Agin&quot; = &quot;against&quot; is a feature of colloquial Irish English.

Stan Carey<p>I asked the writer, who said the quote was accurate and that my instincts were right: the child&#39;s parents were from Donegal!

Stan Carey<p>Always wondered if the Irish phrase &quot;make a hames of&quot; (=&quot;make a mess of&quot;) came directly from the horse&#39;s mouth, so to speak. Found support for that origin in Tom Phelan&#39;s memoir, and updated this old post:</p><p><a href="https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/making-a-hames-of-it/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stancarey.wordpress.com/2012/1</span><span class="invisible">1/07/making-a-hames-of-it/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/etymology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>etymology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/idioms" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>idioms</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/words" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>words</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/IrishEnglish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IrishEnglish</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/HibernoEnglish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HibernoEnglish</span></a></p>
