If you wanted English to Gaelic, unfortunately, you did not say so .. you posted English to Engish - an oversight and probably did not click on the Gaelic option, sdo it could not be obvious! Sorry, but we are not mind readers.

agree  Egil Presttun: Yes, it's a common expression. Sometimes it refers to not be ashamed, but be proud of what you have done or said. The logic lies in the body language.
