Sa Bheurla tha "Egyptian mummy" agus "cousin German" ann. Cuideachd "Bohemian life-style".
Dè th' ann an "teaghlach Eadailteach"? no "tuathanas Turcach"?
Phrase meaning?

Re: Phrase meaning?
A-ha, cha b' aithne dhomh cousin-german - agus nach mise tha gòrach, gun fhaicinn mammaidh agus gu h-àraidh Bohemian...
Sa Theacais 's e teaghlach Eadailteach fear anns a bheil ùprait mhòr am bitheantas, agus tuathanas Turcach... uill, am beachd aig George Osborne air tuathanas Alistair Darling no am beachd aig Ed Balls air tuathanas George Osborne.

Re: Phrase meaning?
Came across this one in AFB:
loisg càl teth mi roimhe!
I'm not that stupid; been there, done that and definitely not doing it again!
Would that also tr*nsl*t* as 'Once bitten, twice shy' ?
And of course 'I've had my fingers burnt with him/that before!'
Aren't languages (and dictionaries) briliant!
