What is the meaning of "kiss me, I am irish" that always appear in the simpsons? it means that the Irish are the most kissable nation in the world and also that they are very forward and don't beat around the bush if they are looking for something! I could be wrong, but I'd assume it came from the blarney stone. which is you kiss it you are supposed to get the gift of the gab. hmmmmm ... tough cookie... the writer is Conan Obrien and hes irish Probably something to do with Americans loving the irish cos its part of their history. On a visit to Ireland you may kiss the Blarney Stone to give you the gift of eloquence, "Blarney". You can also kiss the Blarney Stone, "by proxy" as it were, by kissing someone who has already kissed it. This may be the reason. It's a prime example of American kitsch. A few years back (you remember if you're an oldster like me...or the Simpsons writers...) there was a series of T-shirts (then sweastshirts, then coffee mugs, etc etc) that read "Kiss me, I'm (insert ethnic group here). They were commonly seen in catalogs like Lillian Vernon, or What on Earth. "Kiss me, I'm Irish" was probably the most commonly seen, followed by "Kiss me I'm Italian", then "Kiss me, I'm Polish". The Simpsons joke is a reference back to that popular T-shirt, possibly fueled by the fact that Conan O'Brien is Irish. He and I are roughly the same age, so I'm not surprised by him making fun of that T-shirt trend. kiss me im irish just means kiss me and i'll make you lucky as in the blarney stone! beats me I have never been kissed Its because Irish are such great kissers ha ha sorry only messin They have to beg for a kiss because they are all so pale and ugly? |
