Gaelic words in English

yeah, most of our language is either Latin or German in origin, but there are a few terms of Celtic beginnings...

Boat in scots-gaelic is Seallaibh, that is, "Sail"
Captain in scots-gaelic is sgiobair, that is, "skipper"

and like Latin, the Celtic languages also gendered boat/ship as a "she".

Translation

erv : Oklahoma legislator moves to make scientific research illegal:
[Mike Reynolds, state senator of Oklahoma, on a bill that makes any and all embryo research that potentially destroys an embryo illegal] "My motivation is to protect unborn children."

[actually means] "Live children can fuck off. Who the fuck gives a shit about born babies? LOL, or grown ups? Yeah, fuck that shit!"
