It's schwein wasser, dum(p?)kopf!

Seriously though folks: I've been dhrinkin gin and thonics for fhifty
years and never had a case of malaria. Of course malaria in Newfoundland
isolationists *IS* uncommon.

Your definition of "social drinkin" i.e, someone who drinks more than I
do, is supremely unimpressive to an Irishman. (RIP: Ripped In Place)
