The Power of the Irish Curse: More Than Just a Word

The phrase "Póg mo thóin" is a cornerstone of the Irish tradition of the "slagging match"—a form of ritualized, witty insulting that is a beloved part of the culture. It's not just about profanity; it's about using sharp, funny language as a tool for bonding and social navigation. A curse can be a complex cultural artifact.
