Word of the Day

Erin go bragh

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 17, 2026 is:

Erin go bragh • \air-un-guh-BRAW\ • phrase

Erin go bragh is an Irish phrase that means “Ireland forever.”

// They proudly waved the Irish flag during the parade, shouting “Erin go bragh!”

See the entry >

Examples:

“Dressed in full Irish regalia, Fitzgerald rode his horse, Jack, through the streets of Clinton every St. Patrick’s Day. Jack was also dressed for the occasion, with green ribbons on his mane and a green blanket with gold lettering, ‘Erin Go Bragh.’” — Craig S. Semon, The Worcester (Massachusetts) Telegram & Gazette, 22 Dec. 2025

Did you know?

March 17th is the feast day of the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. In the United States, it is also the day of shamrocks, leprechauns, and green beer (and green everything else). Blue was once the color traditionally associated with St. Patrick, but the color green has several links to Ireland, including its use on Ireland’s flag in the form of a stripe, its symbolism of Irish nationalism and the country’s religious history, and its connection to Ireland’s nickname, The Emerald Isle. On St. Patrick’s Day, people turn to their dictionary to look up Erin go bragh, which means “Ireland forever.” The original Irish phrase was Erin go brách (or go bráth), which translates literally as “Ireland till doomsday.” It’s an expression of loyalty and devotion that first appeared in English during the late 18th-century Irish rebellion against the British.
