    :D

    I've always absolutely hated those ugs on girls and found them such a huge turn off. But lately (in Dublin anyway) they seem to have completely disappeared off the streets! Anyone else noticed this happening??? It hasn't come soon enough for me :P

    Imminent winter return due. Recession will see sales of Fuggs overtake Uggs.

    Uggs are furry.

    Fur looks weird in hot weather.

    They will make a comeback for the Winter.

    That is all.

    No I'm not actually I said I hate seeing them on girls-turns the best looking girl on the street into an eskimo lookalike for me...

    I love how people hate them so much. The most inoffensive things to get angry about. They are bloody boots with fur.

    Saw a girl wearing a pair last week.

    That is all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    When I think of uggs i see:

    Fuggs, with some Fat heffer strolling around in her Pj's, arse crack hanging out and generally walking on them as opposed to in them, resulting in wrecked and soggy fugg. Bitch.

    Did any of the following feature in her look?
    1) Tango skin
    2) Unconvincingly dyed blonde hair
    3) Big bug-eye sunglasses

    No, she didn't have any of those featuring.

    She did have a thick Dublin accent that would cut glass though.

    A few years ago this combination was the style around Trinity College:

    - mini skirt up their holes
    - poncho's
    - ugg boots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    I suppose it's a good thing I don't know what those are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 852 ✭✭✭moonpurple


    uggs are a helpful warning system

    avoid this bird at all costs:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭applesock


    Ive seen a few girls with uggs and mini skirts, maybe in the last week when it was really warm. what i cudnt understand was why wear them in summer are your feet not all sweaty :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Uggs in warm weather? Honktastic! :eek:

    I've seen loads of girls wearing them this summer. I've seen girls wearing them at the beach on really warm days, they must get disgustingly warm in the heat.

    why oh why are guys who find girls wearing ugg boots off putting? they are boots! they are suppose to keep a girl's feet warm that's the main purpose not to make a poor lad chase them like they would a skirt! There aren't as many around cause its summer but then again a nippy day would see them appear by the new time! definitely in for the winter me thinks! they are popular and fashionable too and sensible if you don't mind me saying! i find great comfort in them. now i do admit that some ugg boots don't look as nice as others but there have been ones in the shops that are lovely. i like me feet to be cosy! :cool:

    That is fair enough, but the lads are discussing a stereotype, the badly bleached blonde hair, the mini skirt, the fake tan, the sense of self satisfaction. Ring a bell?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    I've always thought they were more suited to the 80s... :D

    ah ok. so they expect girls to wear heels or someting? :confused: does it matter if girls wear ugg boots regardless of their stereotype! i'm a brunette! many girls wear ugg boots who aren't the stereotype! I know lads might think it looks silly for the stereotype to wear ugg boots but its not a big a deal if they wish the stereotype to satisfy a man's google eyes if girls wear a differnt type of footwear! if girls wore slippers outside in their stereotypical look would guys comment on that? if girls wore hiking boots and the likes would that be the case too? its called fashion thats why they wear ugg boots! stereotypical girls are who they are cause of confidence, how they want to be and to be fashionable its not always to please a man!

    They were designed in Australia for surfers to wear on the beach.

    When the weather was really cold I used to wear fleece socks under my Ugg boots.
    Oh the snuggy feeling!

    Yes but when you have thousands of people wearing the same colour and looking exactly like everyone else, it takes away from the argument that they are simply doing it for comfort. A bit of originality is refreshing.

    So you mean people are following a fashion trend :eek:

    Has Joe Duffy been informed of this?

    It isn't obvious, nor does it make any sense. People who need to inform Joe Duffy of something couldn't possibly make a valid argument about anything.:)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 13,098 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Ugg boots are one of those fashion "craze" disasters like flares in the 70s, leg warmers in the 80s, tiny little rucksacks in the 90s and people will cringe at seeing photos of them in the stupid clobber years from now. Good riddance...

    Oh so now you've got something against eskimos? Bloody bigot, showing your true colours..:mad:

    That's where you're wrong. Any complaint, ailment or general whinge has to be rang into the Joe Duffy show. It's the law.
    Then you will have Joe coax you through the said complaint, ailment or whinge by saying 'sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure' in a soothing voice.

    I love my Uggs (black).

    Why assume it's just women who wear them?

    I do hate those stupid knitted ones though. I keep having Peig flashbacks.

    As in Sayers?
    Why????!!!!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 975 ✭✭✭uvox


    I dunno. The whole knitted oul wan shuffling along vibe. If you're gonna do Uggs, do the originals - black or chocolate. The tan ones are common as muck.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass


    I actually don't mind ugg boots on girls. Definitely more attractive than stilettos or other such uncomfortable-looking footwear women tend to wear.
    Eskimos are sexy, you racist!

    How do you know?

    I once tried looking for eskimo porn and couldn't find any :confused:.
