galore - adjective - a lot; in abundance
Since today is St. Patrick's Day, it is only fitting to feature a Celtic Irish word that has slithered its way into the English lexicon. Galore is a term with both a positive denotation and connotation (if you see it as being on par with indulgence, which could go either way). It derives from "go leor," Celtic for "'til plenty."
When I think of St. Patrick's Day, what comes to mind immediately is green beer. For me, the day has always been about both the color green and alcoholic beverages galore although since I cannot drink myself due to medical reasons, I have always been in the position of objective observer. Especially in New York City, the Irish holiday has always been an excuse to leave the office early, meet clients in a packed pub, imbibe till heady, forget about returning to the office, and once back in the apartment, pass out, preferably on a bed, not on the floor. But since the pandemic is still with us, that sort of behavior might have gone out with a mask-less existence. That being said, I'm sure quite a few "rules" will be broken today, simply because people need to break them to keep from breaking themselves.
For those of you who are Irish or just Irish at heart, Happy St. Paddy's Day.
Have a bit of safe fun, if you get my drift.
💚
