How about a literal definition as well? Meaning intended is all well and good, but...
lit: 'mouth of shit'; 'shit-eater'
gobshite is also a noun describing what comes out of the mouth of a gobshite.--Haryadoon 08:45, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit]
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
“(Ireland, UK, slang, moderately offensive) Epithet, implying a person of poor judgement, low intelligence and/or ignorance, whose application of such deficiencies has adverse consequences for others as well as themselves. There may be an inference of repeated debacles cause by the person.”
seems redundant to:
“(Ireland, UK, slang, moderately offensive) A person of very poor judgment and unpleasant character.”
Could they have meant to add it as an adjective? — Ungoliant (falai) 02:19, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

[edit]@Theknightwho "Gobshite" is heard in random conversations by British and Irish speakers by men and women IRL (In real life) even in commercial property residential zone industrial zone office zone ETC. When also used in certain situations if mildly or extremely vulgar. And not even the usage of The Commonwealth. Sherlocks1050 (talk) 06:11, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
