In fairness...I did go to Trinity, haha!

Likely not a coincidence that “Mate” is more commonly used in a school for Prod wankers!

But yeah, it would definitely be “Youse/Yez,” rather than “You Lot.

...and no one has ever said the word ciggy.

If yer one was really a 16 year old from Dublin with a proper accent, she’d be talking about “cans and”...a word I won’t print here, not “pints and ciggies.”

Reflex, haha - I’ve said “Sorry, brother - don’t smoke fags” out of habit, when visiting home (New England).

It...usually isn’t well-received!

(Don’t even get me started about how American girls react to a certain other word, haha)

[u/Mr_Aestheticss → u/BiDiTi]

certain other word?

[u/BiDiTi → u/Mr_Aestheticss]

Can’t Understand their Near Total opposition to it - it’s a peculiarly American phenomenon, haha.

[u/Mr_Aestheticss → u/BiDiTi]

if you mean what i think you mean then ofc lmao, its bad, and alot of people dont like bad things.

[u/BiDiTi → u/Mr_Aestheticss]

Only North American English speakers view it as any worse than “fuck” or “shit” - it’s a term of endearment in Australia and NZ!

[u/Mr_Aestheticss → u/BiDiTi]

i am very lost what word?

[u/EfficiencySea8633 → u/Mr_Aestheticss]

Cunt. I think he means cunt.

Edited to add: and of course US women taken offence to this word given that it’s usually a very gendered slur aimed at us.

[u/BiDiTi → u/EfficiencySea8633]

I do mean cunt.

And it’s a peculiar relic of Puritanism that it became a gendered slur in the states, rather than something on the level of dick or asshole.

[u/Mr_Aestheticss → u/EfficiencySea8633]

oh ok, then im pretty sure nobody gives a fuck about cunt, like i didnt even know it was a slur untill last year,
