FionnbharrIf you call someone a ‘Sap’ in Ireland you’re usually describing them as a fool. The notion perhaps is from sap (plant fluid) as suggestive of freshness or "greenness", or to sap as a dialectal word for a mush or sop, and from there extended to mean a person of soft intellect or character.
The Vulgar TongueCROAKUMSHIRE. Northumberland, from the particular croaking the pronunciation of the people of that county, especially about Newcastle and Morpeth, where they are said to be born with a burr in their throats, which prevents their pronouncing the letter r.

The birds are calling for spring
By Xavier KataquapitI recently took a long walk out into a beautiful spring day. The weather was pleasant, the sun was bright and the air was brisk and cool. I could still feel the sting of winter hanging on and, to confirm that feeling, I could hear it from the song of a familiar bird this time of year. The Chickadee was singing its familiar ‘tee-tee’ song. My Kookoom, my grandmother, often pointed out to us children that this little bird was actually calling out the name of the season. The bird changes its tune depending on the weather.
