Some common words we use every day, including the name for the UK's ruling party, have a surprising origin in Irish.
English words like Tory, galore, jazz and hooligan have Irish origins – but some are disputed Millions around the world embrace Irish culture each St Patrick’s Day as they don green clothes, paint their faces with shamrocks and get royally sozzled. It’s one of the most celebrated saintly feast days around the world, far detached from its original Christian meaning. But Paddy’s Day isn’t the only time English-speakers are immersed in Irish culture.
But that’s exactly what slogan means in the Old Irish and Gàidhlig – Scottish Gaelic – it’s derived from. Slogan came to English as ‘sluagh ghairm’ – the words for ‘army’ or ‘crowd’ plus ‘cry’. The term now has the same meaning in Irish and Scots Gaelic as it does in English.
