My friend said that she was glad to know that he WASN'T calling her "amadan" or "muldoon." She likes "mo dhuinn" so I'll leave it at that with her! That way she said she won't have to punch out her friend if they should happen to meet in some kind of afterlife.

Many thanks to Malcolm for what appears to be a definitive lesson on the languages. I know I tend to be careless in making references to "Gaelic", "Irish", "Scots", etc. Your comment is very helpful. I'll print it out and save it. Thanks to Jim, also.

Apologies to George. You did tell me the phrase was Scottish Gaelic from the very start. (I didn't expect this thread to get so long, and didn't go back to check before asking that unnecessary question.)
