Dear Aer
Lingus
|
|
|
Travelling
with your airline recently I asked one of your charming stewardesses, Bridget I
think her name was, what the 'Lingus' in the name Aer Lingus meant.
Unfortunately she didn't know, nor did any of your cabin
crew.
When I arrived home I looked up the word in my
dictionary, or rather I didn't look it up, as there was no entry for Lingus in
my Concise Oxford. I thought for a moment that it might be a suffix, but
quickly discarded that idea as I only know one word which has Lingus as a
suffix, and it can't possibly mean that, because although Aer Lingus is by no
means the most impressive airline that I have ever flown with, it certainly
doesn't suck.
Could it perhaps be a Gaelic word? Maybe
someone there at HQ knows its origin? If so I would be very grateful if you
could pass it on to me as not knowing the meaning of it is driving me to
distraction.
Yours sincerely
T Ravenscroft
