Well, both seem to be mostly american slang terms - in Ireland we'd use "boy", "girl", "lad", "lass" or "bud".
And normally we use "well" as a greeting - so typical things are "Well girl, how's it going?" or "Jaysus lad, that's a mad story"
I've never bought clothing from one, though I know peole who have - usually just good quality stuff for low prices.
I'd usually go to one for nifty gadgets, tools or electronics and whatnot though
When I was younger I didn't like any nuts at all, but since then I've come to enjoy certain aspects...
I like pistachios, pecans on desserts, salted and spicy peanuts, Hazelnut pralines and hints of coconut in smoothies or chocolate bars.
I used to, but lately I've been finding myself moving away from large amounts of sweet foods. They're just too heavy and unhealthy - and I used to be able to eat like a whole box of chocolates.
Cancer, HIV and AIDS would be at the highest of my list. However I think it would truly be amazing to be able to cure mental illnesses. I can't say I know hwo taht would happen, but if it was possible, the world would be a better place.
I've lived in all 3 locations in my life. Sub-urban originally, and it was generally nice.
I moved to college and lived in the centre of the city. I fucking hated it. It was nice being close to shops, but now that I'm driivng...it doesn't matter.
I currently live in a rural area, about a 7 minute drive from the nearest town., and 20 minutes from the nearest city. That may not sound very rural, but I live in Ireland - our biggest towns are still small compared to other country's towns.
My Paternal Grandfather served in the Irish reserve army back in the 50's, I believe.
Apparently 2 of my great-grandfathers, from both maternal and paternal sides, were members of the IRA in the War of independance and subsequent Civil War. They stood down when ordered by DeValera (A hugely popular freedom fighter and politician who would go on to become Ireland's first ever president).
This was back when the IRA were freedom fighters, struggling for independance. My Mum remembers her Grandfather saying something along the lines of "These new lads aren't the same as what we were. They're not like 'The Ra' was."
Fun Fact: DeValera actually stayed in my great-grandparents farm once when hiding from the British forces.
I'm thinking about how cringy it seems when someone posts as their Tulpa. I mean, come on, it just seems like they're 12 years old and pretending to be their friend or something.
Is your favourite colour green or orange...?
As someone living the the republi, I always make fun of Ireland and Irish people. Generally I adopt a thick, culchie accent to add to it.
This sounds a bit stupid to me, but that's probably because I'm irish. I think excessive vulgarity is a trait we share with Australians - probably because a lot of Irish descendants are there.
Nobody bats an eyelid if you swear...swearing is used in literally every second sentence.
I've even used it when I'm trying to think of something or someplace and can't quite get it out.
"Have you ever been to..ehh...fuckin'...The Bailey! It's some cool place..."
They're used to a great extent as emphasis.
I've even heard lecturers use them in college.
Random Fact: Mythbusters have proven that saying swear words can help increase tolerance to pain.
