Archaic Term of the Day: Donkey/Narrowback

Donkey/Narrowback: In Irish slang, a donkey is a new immigrant, who does hard  labor. A narrowback is a pejorative term for an Irish-American, whose back muscles are not that well formed becasue they are not accustomed to hard labor.  I like to say that "I was born a narrowback, but have become a donkey."
