What Welch Shepherds do to their sheep when they are bored

If I had written Cyru, 90% of CP wouldn't have had the slightest idea what I was talking about. What I find particularly embarrassing is that Owen Glendower (AKA Owain ab Gruffydd, lord of Glyndyvrdwy in Merioneth) is a bit of a hero of mine. The last true Prince of Wales. Welsh[^] Welch[^]

Ah, but they do have 5 words for deep fried potato pieces: 1) Chips. As in "Fish and Chips" 2) Sglodion. As in "Pysgod a sglodion" 3) Supper. As in "Fish Supper" 4) Fries. As in "Do you want fries with that?" 5) Please! As in "Do you want fries with that?" I am waiting to hear "Sglodion and chip supper with fries please!" - it can be only a matter of time. We are talking about a nation that routinely eat chilli and rice with chips, or curry and rice with chips...

Interestingly, Welsh is Saxon for 'foreigner'. Cornwall, is Saxon for 'west foreigner'. However, Cymru is I am fairly sure 'Wales' and 'Welsh' is 'Brith' in their language. (Hence 'Bara brith', 'welsh cack/bread').

Is that the land or the people? I believe that Cymru is Wales in Brythonic Celtic, and that their name for themselves is Brith (as in Britain, Prythian, Briezh Bryth or any of the other variants. Hence 'Bara brith' 'welsh bread'.

It's important not to let it get your goat. BTW: "Welch var. of WELSH" ~ T. F. HOAD. "Welch." The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology. 1996. ;)

I guess finding that has left you feeling not so sheepish! Never let someone pull the wool over your eyes with the correct spelling. But dont lambent your earlier guilt, its not a point to be moot on! (bet you cant find all the puns! ;))

I had someone try to teach me how to stick my tongue behind my teeth and blow out of both sides of my mouth but not the center. It's something i suspect you learn as a child or never.
