the "clever country boy who cheats the devil" is an old american folklore trope. e.g. "the devil & daniel webster" by stephen vincent benét. i think it's probably heavily borrowed from old celto-gaelic folklore, in which it's not
satan but rather a leprechaun or similar trickster spirit

This Underwood typewriter, likely the first with Irish characters, was used by the Gaelic League around 1905.
Now on display in the newly opened Changing Ireland Galleries in Collins Barracks, it’s a powerful symbol of everyday tools shaping Irish identity.

This is also the great grandma who'd get LIT at Christmas alongside my Welsh kit great grandpa and they'd babble back in forth at the dinner table in Swedish and Welsh Gaelic and crack themselves up.
I wasn't born with autism, I don't think.
They gave it to me making me listen to that as a kid.

the linked article in this post is fascinating. I am not Irish but I am a Gael and since it's natural for us to talk of "Gàidhlig na h-Albainn" and "Gàidhlig na h-Èirinn", I do usually find myself saying Irish Gaelic when speaking in English.

I want the self-checkout voice to have a horrendously thick Scottish accent.
Better yet, switch it to Gaelic. At least I'll have no idea what's going on as it berates me.

#TavQOTD Apparently Kieran is the anglicized form of Ciarán, a name of Gaelic/Irish origin meaning "little dark one" or "little dark-haired one"
Huh.. Guess "ravenplume" was accurate.
Wait.. Kieran doesn't have a last name.
I'm making it that. ❤️ Kieran Ravenplume.
It's got a ring to it.

Now here’s a much more cheerful book tweet than my Blackwells one.
Been after the rare edition of the poems of Alexander Mongomerie, Gaelic Catholic favourite of James VI. Tracked it to a bookseller in Chicago. Was warned delivery could take several weeks. Arrived in 7 days

When I was reading a lot of early 20thC popular Irish weekly papers (as you do) I found at least one short story where going to Gaelic League language classes was how young men made themselves attractive to the cool girls and therefore got a girlfriend. So that pushes it back to c.1908!

This morning, I walked along a tiny lane lined with ancient dry stone walls. North West old lanes are great places to find lichens. Here are Parmelia saxatilis and its realtive P. omphalodes. P. omphalodes was called dark crottle by Scots tweed makers. Gaelic "crotal": lichens for red/brown dyes.
