Irish people on Twitter have been sharing their best Gaeilge shop name puns with excellent results
President President
IF THERE’S ONE thing we can all enjoy – no matter what your level of Irish – is a quality pun as Gaeilge.
Yesterday, the always excellent @TheIrishFor Twitter account was doling out one of its regular lessons in interesting wordplay when something rather brilliant happened:
@m / theirishfor @m / theirishfor / theirishfor
One response came back with a delightful pun, and it started a ball rolling
@SJOHart Twitter @SJOHart Twitter
Everyone else wanted to join in – and suddenly there was a Gaeilge pun session about prospective shop names that was just so good
@HowdyasayNiamh @HowdyasayNiamh
The kind of spontaneous moment of wordplay you only dream of
@Gina_inTipp @Gina_inTipp
^pitch both of these on Dragons’ Den immediately.
It got so popular that he put out a call on Twitter for more suggestions, and the Gaeilge business names kept coming.
All of these would be welcomed by the wider public, we can assure you of that
@Siuners @Siuners
These are the kinds of ideas that could sustain pub-obsessed entrepreneurs for years to come
@Sinabhfuil @Sinabhfuil
The momentum has continued today, with its popularity growing so much that @TheIrishFor created a Twitter Moment housing all the best ones
