Bhí caitheamh is cáineadh ar Sheán ach ba mhaith é le taobh Shéamuis, we used to say very hard things about Seán but he was a king compared with Séamus. Caidé atá ag caitheamh air, ag chur chaite air? What is troubling him? Bíonn sé ag síor-cháitheamh ar an chomharsain, he is forever reviling the neighbours. Níl caitheamh ar bith air, no one is compelling him.
