Yikes! I know a couple of people there, must check in.Jesus, 18% of staff is no joke
eans. She was once dumped by an Irish someone who started the dumping with "Listen, I think you're grand..."
I ask "Did they actually say 'I think you're grand, but' with a long pause after?"
Yes she did actually, why?
Ouch, harsh.
Yes, it definitely is.I told a mate that Irish people have a habit of making fun of anyone who dresses funny. There's a whole reddit thing about it. And me living where I live there is no shortage of material.
But apparently her other Irish friends told her no, that's not a thing at all. Maybe that's because they're all weird looking hipsters, or maybe I'm just an asshole. There's another reddit about that actually.
But it is definitely a thing, isn't it???
Me and Mrs. egg_ were in The Hut in Phibsboro back in the 90s sometime and when a young woman walked in clad entirely in yellow we overheard one of her friends saying "Jaysis, she looks like a fucking banana". It's been a catchphrase in our household ever since
there's a big long twitter thread which seems to have gone virally globally, and it was started by someone irish and half the stories in it were of irish people getting stick for their fashion choices.
e.g.
is that true, Tom Petty?I had long blonde hair in the late 90's, and was even skinnier.
I could barely walk down the street without a Hansen ('uum bop') slag. (usually mixed in with 'hippie, faggit, werido, posho etc..)
is that true, Tom Petty?
is that because you have a big bogger head on you?I get called names by strangers in the street based on how I look probably on average once per week.
