Green is not a creative colour
Today, in honour of St. Paddy's Day (yes, Paddy's, not Patty's), I decided to write this little blog post on how to actually talk and behave like an Irish person. I'm partially Irish, though I grew up in England, so forgive me if I get some things wrong. First of all, speech. As the great Irishman JackSepticEye once put it, Irish people have "a very special way of talking". Here's some useful turns of phrase. No self-respecting Irish person ever says "Top o' the mornin' to ye". Ever. Avoid using this phrase if you want to sound like an actual Irish person. For a real Irish greeting, try "Hiya" or "How are ya?" Talk about the weather a lot. Another common Irish 'greeting' is to comment on the weather, often with euphemisms that make it sound nicer than it actually is. For example, if it's windy, it's "a great day for drying [your clothes]". If it's raining, it's a "soft day"...
