And so many wonderful reaction gifs to mine.
(The real bummer watching it is knowing that Netflix ruined some scenes by changing some music to save on licensing costs. This kind of infuriates me given how critical the soundtrack is to the show.)
More about the names of Irish townsâŠ
And then he did a whole thing at the end about how these place names got their names⊠cued it up to the spot where he explains themâŠ
I think I posted this some months ago in the Well This is Interesting thread.
All the worldâs railways. Including disused rights of way.
My hometown
âValley of the Wolvesâ
âItâs called Valley of the Wolvesâ
âWill we see any wolves when weâre there?â
âNo, becauseâŠâ
Irish usually has A B constructions which are A of the B: Maigh EĂł = âThe Plain of EĂłâ, Tir Conaill = âThe Land of Conallâ, but sometimes they did it as a compound BA. So this is âWolfplainâ.
BrĂ©ach is a weird word, and goes to one more piece of evidence that âwolfâ was a tabu word in the Celtic languages; and that if there was a Celtic cognate for *wÄșÌ„kÊ·os, it was long forgotten in favour of âson of the landâ (mac tĂre), âwild hound/dogâ (cĂș alladh, madra alladh), âhowlerâ (faol) or âhowling houndâ (faolchĂș), or Welsh blaidd which seems to be derived from a Proto-Celtic word meaning âpredator, monsterâ.
Just realized I give a wrong translation for my hometown. It is plain of the wolves. And I knew that. Derp.
Leaving my F-up above for posterity.
Also EĂł = yew.
A biiiig bumsitter!
Thatâs a very big doggo!
Thatâs pretty bad assâŠ
Still bad ass.
Should your exit from the 
take you to my part of the world, get your Peameal Bacon Sandwich at Paddingtonâs Pump, north end of the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto 
. 
I am on the marmite sandwich/cheese and onion bap side of the pond, but thanks for the advice.
