Jed,
I do know that also in Gaeilge, they also use "blue
men" to describe black people. Possibly "An gorm fear" ?
My Gaelic's about as good as my Old Norse. :) I'm not
sure if they do the same in Gàidhlig, though.

Thanks for the Gaelic reference to 'blue men. Sarah really has hit a rich
vein with her query. What an interesting set of responses we have had. I stand
amazed at the combined knowledge and expertise of the group. We haven't had a
response like this since young Teja asked for translations of 'My
husband is crazy'
Cheers
Jed
