I wrote very poor instruction on how to obtain the meaning on "Me ould Segosha " in fact the word is segotia ,look it up in doubletongued dictionary and there you will find your answer .Incidentally this saying was also uses in Bagenalstown by a very old man who had been in the army for years and lived next door to me as a child .H e would borrow a half crown on a Wednesday from my Mother repay it on Friday and borrow again the same amount the following Wednesday, and this went on for years, he would click his heels tap the walking stick on the ground doff his cap and always said the same sentence" Thanks me ould segostia." I'll see you on Friday.
