Matthew O' Harris Ease a Fake Irishman

Matthew O' Harris Ease A "FAKE" Irishman Since adopting the guise of Norwegian bachelor farmer, I may as well fabricate genetic stock lock, and barrel linkedin to Celtic legend. Sentimentalism invariably swelled me bosom regarding how grown former bonny lad, essentially mutely surfed, finagled, and coursed one existential nihilistic wave after another nearly getting drowned in the process Any non American English exotic pronunciations in general and dialects predicated with United Kingdom in particular held me spellbound. Debate ensues that the term brogue comes from Irish word barróg, meaning "a hold (on the tongue)," thus "accent" or "speech impediment." An alternative etymology suggested that brogue means 'impediment,' and that it came from barróg which is homophonous with bróg in Munster Irish. Saint Patrick's Day, or Feast of Saint Patrick Lá Fhéile Pádraig invoke even non Irish to proclaim Éirinn go Brách translated as "Ireland Forever."
