    It sure seems like it worked for the Irish.

        Now people unironically ask Irish bartenders for car bombs and don’t see the issue.

          It’s never bothered me tbh, that’s an American thing. Never heard of it until I visited

            Yeah, I worked at an Irish bar for a while and we had a couple guys from Donegal that would go in on drunk college kids about it. Really the only anecdotes I have on the situation, though.

              Donegal is a border county, likely to be closer to home. Personally it took me being in Chicago and someone talking about it for it to click with me, I just thought you guys had weird names for things
