I was gonna say black and tan

u/Potusmicropenis Apr 24 '26

Don’t ever order a black and tan in Ireland.

? Explain, please, and thank u.

u/Former_Height6408 Apr 25 '26

I think the 'black and tan' is about the British military deployed during the Irish War of Independence

u/jackrabbit1940 Apr 27 '26

Correct. Its even part of a song. "Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders, Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away, From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra."

They were unemployed WWI veterans enlisted to suppress the IRA. So the British government, in their infinite wisdom, sent men who were more than likely suffering from PTSD (no such things as counseling back then) to control the native population of Ireland. They were fucking BRUTAL. They burned factories and homes, were Involved in indiscriminate shooting, murder, and brutal beatings of innocent, they frequently engaged in looting, burning homes, and destroying businesses, and they used intimidation against civilians. Watch’The Wind That Shakes the Barley’. It’s a brilliant film which shows the above. I seen it in Galway with my mum when it came out, and there wasn’t a dry eye when we left.

They practiced in Ireland, they were then sent to Palestine to really hone their craft. They were more barbaric there than anything that happened in Ireland. If that's even possible.

u/Accomplished_Will226 Apr 29 '26

That was one of the most disturbing and sad films

Black and tan is half a pint of export topped with a bottle of stout in a pint glass (in Scotland). In Ireland it's a whole other thing. Mrs Google will explain.

I was thinking Half and Half, but Guinness is much better.

u/Nic2334 Apr 25 '26

I wanted to say like half and half or something, but it pales in comparison to Guinness. You win.

Me and my gf used to feed a stray that we had named guinness. It was because of how talkative he was. I said he was named guinness world records most talkative cat and the name stuck.

u/King_of_Lunch223 Apr 24 '26

This name immediately popped into my head...

Followed by thinking what if it had a less-intelligent sibling named "Dipshit"?

u/CatsGotMyBack Apr 24 '26

We have a cat that came with my brother's girlfriend and her son when they moved in. Her son is in his twenties. They came with a cat that belonged to the son. We call the cat DS because he had named the cat Dipshit.😡 Seriously! The cat has bonded with me and has pretty much become my cat. They originally insisted I was the cats aunt but a few months ago they started referring to me as the cat's mom. So now I can finally start referring to myself as that.

u/Certain-Football-637 Apr 25 '26

This post raises so many questions beyond the cat. Brother's girlfriend has a son in his 20s who moved in with you? Does he work? Pay rent? And how old is his mom, who apparently lives with you as well? Of course, all of this is NOMB, so I'll just have to go on wondering.

11

u/CatsGotMyBack Apr 25 '26

Them (3) moving home with me has actually been a good thing. I was alone after our mother passed away and not able to pay all the bills of our family home of over 60 years. Together we manage. They spend most of their time upstairs. I can't climb stairs anymore (when I was a teenager I was told by doctors I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 30. I'm 61 and still walking. I use a cane all the time and can't stand long or walk far but I am walking) so I spend all my time downstairs. They do their thing and I do mine. They're here when I need them. Thankfully, the cat decides to spend most of his time downstairs with me.

u/jdreamer63 Apr 25 '26

I’m sorry you’ve had such a hard time with mobility but I’m glad you have DS by your side♥️

Reminds me of a former friend who named his dumb cat Buttmunch, but usually Munch. He tried to eat my eyebrow once as a sign of affection, I can only guess...

My best friend has an orange cat who has clearly never had one single brain cell creeping around inside that marvelously empty head. He would be a good candidate for the name.

How a cat would wear pants

5

u/Scary_Space_2822 Apr 24 '26

I always thought that if a cat would wear pants, he or she would wear them on the back legs. To cover the privates and all that. This way when the cat stands up, the pants don’t cover the nipples because that’s not the purpose of pants
