I have a number of Lemmy instances meant for discussion groups around specific topics. They are not being as used as I expected/hoped. I would like to set them up in a way that they can be owned by a consortium of different admins so that they are collectively owned. My only requirement: these instances should remain closed for registrations and used only to create communities.
Just checked, they call it football. Like everyone with half a braincell.
I’m sure the Irish call it football when they speak English, but what about in Irish? If Google translate to Irish is trustable,
English to Irish Football = Peil
But also Soccer = Sacar
So maybe there’s two accepted variants. But where does Pail come from anyway? Let’s translate it back to English (nas this is true):
Peil = Very big potato
So most of the world plays football, some strange corners of it play soccer, and the Irish play very big potato.
I’d love if a native speaker could confirm this. #Irish #Gaeilge #football @[email protected]
