Spoken Irish from the Cork area and from the North West are really different.
I would pronounce it "Booa chhh a lawn" with a really soft "ch" and not a hard "k". I was taught [beaten into me] Donegal Irish by the "Christian" Brothers. I have also heard it pronounced " bw ay chhh ill lawn " and you wonder why the Irish accent can be a bit strange at times.

| That sounds a bit phonetic for what you might say if you had eaten it and were on your knees in front of the big white bowl . I will try to remember that . |

anyone know any way to get rid of it other than pain staking uprooting by hand? |
Spraying it in springs early growth with DB plus worked for me. And it only knocked the grass back for a week or two.
