The Irish

you've lost me xp

most villages now do drama clubs because we have lots of empty halls now and sure you have to give the hoors a legitimate day job to keep the country wives off the scent

what the fuck is that to do with me

Darragh she sounds like a precocious drama club president

we're going deep dyao if it gets too much you just whistle a jig and tap yr feet and i'll be there like a green jiminy cricket ok

the 1975 are a band with i) famous showbiz parentage ii) high pitched vocals iii) notional 'trending' relevance

i have only one of those things, idk why you'd try to pin this on me.

note: no actual attack on jedward fans, more's the pity

is 'knacker' kind of omerta in polite liberal society like pikey or whatever

what would be the best dialectal pejorative for niall quinn

nakh what's the deal with pikey

Darragh you should go work for the tourism department

girl at 1:00 otm obv

knacker, tbph, ought to be verboten in polite society but we're prob knot quite there yet.

idk where it falls irt pikey or chav, there's a definite edge to it tho. as flung at yr actual travellers it's an evil, as a pejorative for yr standard tracksuit wearer etc the cut is less imo but i mean this is ilx im not gonna draw lines as to an 'acceptable' usage of the term

Skanger less offensive than knacker, maybe?

i would not do well in tourism as we do it, tho i like to think that funded for a year with a handycam and a socialising budget i could sell the place yeah tbph

one-on-one i encouraged at least one touristing ilxor to overpay for at least three lunches so i mean given the backing i could get results

skanger def less so, and mainly because (afaik) it doesn't have the actual roots in yr minority group like knacker does.

How many drinks did you make him/her buy you xp

talking point: should emo kids in provincial towns should feel bad for calling their tracksuited oppressors 'pikeys'

pikey = pejorative for romanis

not an irish question, disqualified

no drinks, lunchtime lunch

nakh are u aware of our vincent browne

deems in more advanced media markets a talking point is more than just a 'question', it's the closest our age gets to socratic discourse

yes i am aware but not especially so

i've not bought the irish times in quite a while

emo kids in provincial towns should feel bad about being emo kids in provincial towns, there's prob fucking cows need milking

i'm not ever sure what one should feel bad about saying about ppl you dont like in yr teens, to address the q. yr a teen and they're cunts, it's hard to draw up rules that cover the necessary ground.

can they say knackers

'can they'

well as a responsible adult you'd be having a word obv

don't you think a fairer response would be to empower the so called 'knackers' to give the emo kids a second round of punishment beatings in order to correct their racism?

no

i think what you've prob got to do is arm the emos sufficently so that there exists reason enough for a detente and nothing really ever kicks off, yr emos learn to lean in and participate, yr knackers obv start to see the benefit of mutual non-aggression pacts at an early stage in their criminal careers, they prob get round to destroying the gaa lads before xmas term ends as a unified if uneasy force

guys what "tinkers"

what ABOUT

deems u gotta do a taxonomy of rural irish teenage groups/stereotypes

nah

'tinkers' an offensive enough term but it doesnt imo/e have the edge of knacker to it- there'd be old ppl out rural that remember when a tinker was a tinker and would have mended, sharpened, fixed around the place. they'd have called into my grandmothers and been known and known there was welcome and tinker was how they were known.

but prob nowadays it's just a softer way of marking the travellers tbh

the way i hear it my mom wasn't allowed to talk to the tinker boy

irish teen groups idk

there was a load of them mighty boosh kids, they'd have been grunge when i was a lad and emo prob a few years behind me but they were boosh iirc. now they just wear yellow shoes with stripey tights. as a group they'd be known as eejits. there's a lot more of them in dublin, or than i remember from when i was at school.

there's yr skangers, you'll have known them

there's yr group of kinda normalish indie kids, not standing out or anything beyond a partic satchel or w/e. ilxy looking yknow.

there's preppy kids in dublin. we didn't have them.

there's culchie kids. struggling for style and maybe getting there or not as the solid upbringing brought them out of themselves or not. teeth are better these days.

gaa lads. we had gaa lads. not quite jocks ime experience until i moved to a bigger town, then yeah def stereotype jocks.

idk. i stress i grew up in rural communities and we had p much fuck all of anything beyond culchie or normal kids. the only other group of note were eh prob under the heading 'troubled' kids where the parents were alcos or just fucked or w/e i mean we had more of those than we did booshes skangers or preppy combined

didnt u play gaa

yr mom was rural gbx iirc, i would never have asked her age but yeah if she was rural in the 50's or 60's the tinker divide, i guess here now, was probably nothing like as pronounced as it is now ito standards of poverty/living or what have you.

i was 16 when we moved to a town where they were travellers but tbh by that stage, or in that town, or w/e, it was not a distinct culture, they'd all have been housed and settled and not really any different from many townie kids from estates as i'd have seen em

i played hurling during one of my incarnations (donegal 1988-94 iirc) but never really football, tbrr i was an athletics star when that wasnt any fucking good to you in rural ireland but no i never played team sports and never went near the fuckin gaa lads in actual games those guys would kill you

darragh did you know any asians growing up

lol wtf man srsly i was probably notable enough for knowing some english ppl growing up

the other day an erudite elderly relative was explaining the moral superiority of gaelic fitba, sthing like more opportunities to score, not english

i saw a black guy in a hotel in killybegs in 1993 i was 12 i guess it was 'woah'
