Irish historical what?

What is with people using adjectives as nouns all of a sudden? It's like this new marketing trend that has appeared recently. I can just imagine the haircuts that come up with this stuff.

-"We want to say that we support brave people"
-"Let's just say "We're backing brave"
-"But that sentence doesn't make sense?"
-"What's your point?
-"My point is that I hate stupid"

Any auld lad sitting in the pub on his own on a Tuesday night could give you all the useless info you'd ever want.

When Wilde went on his lecture of the United States, that of his famous "I've nothing to declare but my genius" quip, he included venues in what was still then the "Wild West".

Guided by their first impressions, the inhabitants of Leadville, Colorado offered Wilde a miner's supper. With each course being a shot of whiskey they jokingly thought it something beyond what they assumed to be his delicate constitution.

The rough-hewn miners of the Rocky Mountains were fascinated by Wilde, but nothing interested them more than his ability to down impossible amounts of whiskey as he drank them under the table.

The same Micheal Collins. There should be statues of him in every big city in the Country. He is the hero of Ireland.

Griffith had a painful inferiority complex while over there. It's really heartbreaking to read his letters and how naive he was about their promises. He was defintely the weak link in the Delegation. Collins is in a different category.
