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???

She also tried to get me to explain what "grand" means. 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.

That's exactly the one I mean.

There's a clickbait listicle which I could link to, but I won't. You may Google if you wish. It is very funny though.

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

My parents like to tell a story of something I said when I was a kid and a cousin of mine walked in glad in yellow.

"Cheep cheep, who's a pwetty boy then?"

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..)

I did not have long blonde hair in the mid 80s.. so can't comment

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I used get called names (Jesus was a common one guy) by total strangers for my long hair too, and later, post 9/11 for my beard.

 

[Cormcolash]

I get called names by strangers in the street based on how I look probably on average once per week.
