| Summary: | ramlatch n How many years have passed my friends, since you heard these once familiar localisms? "A ramlatch of a song." "The divil skewered to ye." (meaning the devil's cure to you). "The poor angashure," "Sure it's all pisherogues," "Andramartins," "Baynoddies," "Sharoosed," "Crackies," and "Aye indeed, sure you'll get it on Tibb's Eve." Some of these were originally Irish expressions, but became by constant use, almost indignenous to Newfoundland. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit DNE-cit DNE-cit Tibb's Eve ramlatch Andramartins OCT 7 1965 W. J. KIRWIN Used I Used I Used I Only the first four lined of the quotation appear in the dictionary (only ones that apply to this Head Word).
