"Are we all just characters in a Roddy Doyle Facebook status?" Dublin City's official motto is Obedientia Civium Urbis Felicitas - obedient citizens, happy city. But do they obey because they're happy or are they happy because they obey? It's a suitably elliptical sentence for a city defined by its murky relationships with obedience and happiness. In this week's episode, Peadar and Darach consider Dublin's happily disobedient use of language. In particular they consider certain articles of Dublin slang with a view to whether they come from Irish or not. --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.
