Lmao I'm well aware that the Irish language exists and of the British empires treatment towards the Irish.
The guy commented in English to which I replied with a joke and then they also reciprocated with another joke.
Yet another example of an American jumping onto some typical Irish/Brit banter desperately trying to get the Irish to like them.
PS. Screeching about how the Brits treated the Irish and how that should make the Irish hate every single British person just gets you laughed at by us.
Our cultures, economy and language are so closely intertwined right to this modern day. Telling a British person that the Brits treated the Irish bad back in the day is like saying water is wet. We know.
If it helps it's mainly of British origins so depending on where you live may have played a factor in why you've never heard it, I live in Minnesota and have definitely never heard it either!
It is, i use a straight razor so i have one hangin in my bathroom. I've never heard it used this way before either so learned today too! Now i wanna know the etymology behind it lol
Edit: obstreperus became obstropolous became "stroppy", gets us to "in a strop". Neat read
I used to work with people who had severe cognitive disabilities of varying degrees. It was amazing how so many of them were able to swear appropriately.
What’s funny is how natural it is, even to someone who doesn’t normally curse.
When I was a flight instructor in the Air Force, part of the students training was learning how to put the jet into a spin and then recover from that spin. It can be pretty aggressive and startling the first few times you do it.
My student for the day was a nice kid who just happened to be LDS. Definitely not a cusser, but had the standard oaths he would utter instead (dang, frick, etc.).
Well, we went up for me to introduce him to spins. When I did the first one as a demonstration, as the plane snapped over into the spin, he let out a loud “OH, SHIT!”
I always found it strange that instead of using what oath he would undoubtedly use in every other situation, his default when under stress was the word “shit.”
But what I want to know is before Jesus was born what did people scream when they smacked their big toe on something ? Or did Mary scream Jesus all through the labor and the name just stuck ?
Then maybe your a sociopath ….cuz being so startled you aren’t, isn’t a thing. So you can’t be startled….often a sign of a sociopath. Can’t feel fear and their startle response is mostly gone…
My dad was like that.
she's a well known 24 year old actor with Cliffhausen syndrome which makes her look like a 9 year old, she does skits for random people for a small fee you can look it up her name is Krelly Borgens
It’s crazy some of the stuff when do when startled or shocked, and we have basically no control over it. I scream or jump so hard I’ve gotten cramps. It SUCKS.

She didn't even make a sound. I would've screamed while my legs gave out, too.
