Or "The Inferior Wife".
Still no translation, though!
Damn ... Willie Clancy, you've a lot to answer for!

Irish language scholars, shouldn't it be "An Phis THirim, with aspiration after feminine noun? My old teachers did a grand job of putting me off Gaeilge while simultaneously and sometimes literally beating the grammar into me.

An Phis Thirim
If you know the real meaning of "An Phis Fliuch", then "An Phis Thirim" is a much less attractive option - quite the opposite to APF in fact (and I'm not talking about music!)
