Hi: Found your site through a search engine, & thought I'd risk wasting your time with a question. I'm trying to find the meaning, historical conText and possibly a little etymology on the term "begorrah". I was hoping perhaps you would be able to find the time to answer. Just the definition would do, if not a suggestion on how/where to research the other details. Thanks so much for your time. |

Websters 10th says that 'Begorra' is a euphemism for 'By God', which would mean that it comes from English, albeit Irish English. |
