 Exactly. My crazy Irish family got on a boat, crossed an ocean then trekked across the entire north american continent, settled in a place before it was a even a state, built homes, businesses and then the modern world. Good luck shutting my ass up. We live for taking risks while talking shit! 
 My grandmother (born in Galway) was the biggest shit talker ever. Everyone could get it lol no one in the family was safe. 
 There is an extra sting to an Irish burn! 
 Same with the Scots. 😁 
 The other side of my family were the Orangemen. They took to burning out the Catholics in New York.  
 Oh, dear. Well, some of my ancestors owned some of my other ancestors, so very awkward. 😂 
 It just occured to me that most people alive today can say the same. 🤔

 It was actually a kinda romantic story, but we have to keep up appearances and pretend like it wasn't, or it upsets the neighbors.
