I find a random word by flipping through my 2003 The New Webster’s Concise Dictionary and write a quick – often silly – little post about it.
#
“Fenian – noun, A member of an Irish society formed in New York in the mid-19th century to seek independence for Ireland. adjective, Of the Fenians. From the Irish Fiann, a legendary Irish warrior.”
I didn’t plan that. I was just flipping through the dictionary looking for any old word when I came across Fenian. And I thought, Hey, everyone is … Fenian on St. Patrick’s Day.

There is a song called The Bold Fenian Men.
I was glad to see this discussion.
Freedom for Ireland was won in the Republic of Ireland, but sadly still to this day, not the North.
Yes good luck I guess that you found it on St Patricks Day friend.
Here it is
My Mother sang it to us as children.
