Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsFour Irish nuns are sitting in a car at a traffic light in
downtown Dublin, when a truck full of rowdy drunks pull up alongside of them.
"Hey penguins show us yer boobies!" shouts one of them.
Shocked, Mother Superior turns to Sister Mary Immaculata and says, "I don't think they know who we are; show them your cross."
Sister Mary Immaculata rolls down her window and shouts, "Piss off, ya feckin' wankers, before I come over there and rip yer bollox off!"
Sister Mary Immaculata then rolls up her window, looks back at Mother Superior and asks, "Did that sound cross enough?

(8,218 posts)I've spent time in Ireland and among the things I've learned is that feck and shite are generally acceptable in polite company. Don't say the harder versions though or you'll be marked as an American. Not that the accent won't do that, but still. Also, "craic" (pronounced crack) means "fun" so if someone says "That was craic" they had a good time.
Slainte!

(7,794 posts)It is most often found to be consequential when it is omitted. Imagine a world where contractions parade, unafraid, masquerading as pronouns. It would be madness!

(15,675 posts)A man leaves a pub and starts staggering home. His path leads him by the local convent where one of the sisters is outside doing some last minute tasks before the sun sets. The man bursts into a gallop and tackles her. Getting up and dusting himself off he says, "Not so tough now, are you, Batman?"

Totally hilarious - especially now, since Clinton visiting Derry again.
