A US Congressman with strong Donegal roots is looking to make a proper eejit of himself.
Democrat Brendan Boyle, who father Frank hails from Glencolmcille, wants to introduce the word ‘eejit’ into the American language.
He tweeted “I’m on a mission to make the word eejit widely used in America.
“Few people who follow me will understand what I’m talking about.
“But those who do will surely appreciate it! (I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard “Brendan, don’t be the eejit” while growing up.”
Brendan’s followers were left amused by the tweet with some suggesting the word ‘gombeen’ could also be a contender.
