Chattering magpie’ is a name given to an individual who carries gossip from home to home throughout the Irish countryside. A common remark about such a nuisance is that he or she must have been vaccinated on the tongue by a gramophone needle! Musicians Aggie White and Barney McKenna of the Dubliners come to my mind as the people I got this reel from.
