In a flash of inspiration, on 6/12/00 2:00 AM, Charles Phelan scrawled this cryptic message: >One dubious authority on the subject told me that >the lace curtain Irish call it Phee-lan, while the shanty Irish call it >Phay-lan. When I asked who the lace curtain Irish were, I was told they're >people who have fruit on their table even when no one's sick. Can we have >some answers, please? :-D Funny, I've never thought about it. This is a name that belonged to my husband's g-grandmother, whom he never knew, and I've never heard it pronounced. I'll be interested to hear the results of this poll.
