GUEST,Patrick Purcell, Son of Noel Purcell	Derivation of 'Me oul' brown Son' (1)	Derivation of 'Me oul' brown Son'	02 Oct 10
Dad used this phrase as a catchphrase, as in 'How are ye going, Me Oul Brown Son?", when he didn't know a persons name. He said his mother used to use it, but I don't know its real derivation. I think it actually refers to a Pint of Guinness! As in: "I'm going to shake hands with 'Me oul' Brown Son'"! Any more prosaic suggestions?
