As an Irish person I generally stick to the handy all-purpose "yoke".

On the menu page from that alphabet, there's a really fun thingy that follows your mouse pointer around like discs on an elasticated string.

James, I'd suggest "Pf3g mo thf3in miotallach lonnrach". Prounounced approx. as POGUE muh HONE mYUTHolloch LUNroch, with the -chs as in Bach or loch.

The first part just means "kiss my ass" simpliciter, as fans of the band FKA the Pogue Mahones will be aware. There's no good alternative to the boring loan-word "miotal" for metal - while the word for brass was often used to mean metals in general, the adjectival form now means a slapper. "Lonnrach" primarily means glittering, but the main alternative "soilseach" implies beaming out light.

http://www.ceantar.org/ has some online searchable dictionaries in all three Gaelic languages for anyone who wants to amuse themselves further.
