Has anyone seen this crap?
Its a website in wikipedia style that conveys fact through stupid irish phraseology like 'to be sure' etc.
I for one find it offensive, not least because the title refers to a 'mick' which is what the english called us for slang.
I'm just wondering if anyone else felt offended by it and how to go about getting it pulled as being racist. In my mind the same idea could be applied to a black slang website and could be titled ****** o'pedia. Correct me if Im wrong.

Being able to laugh at oneself is a sign of confidence.

cml387 · 20-04-2012 12:31PM

I'm going to that site right now to be outraged.

fasttalkerchat · 20-04-2012 12:33PM

The blacks and the chinese get it too. Poor humour but I wouldn't get all tearful over it.

Hande hoche! · 20-04-2012 12:33PM

Plenty of things out there more deserving of your anger.

I wouldn't give a 'feck' usually but the website has a somewhat genuine feel to it like its in some way official !

Thats brilliant. I looked up scorpion just to check how it works and love some of the lines

"Though the oul' scorpion has a fearsome reputation as venomous, only about 25 species are known to have venom capable of killin' an oul' human bein', for the craic"

"When the male has identified a feckin' suitable location, he deposits the bleedin' spermatophore and then guides the oul' female over it. This allows the bleedin' spermatophore to enter her genital opercula, which triggers release of the bleedin' sperm, thus fertilizin' the feckin' female, would ye believe it? The matin' process can take from 1 to 25+ hours and depends on the oul' ability of the bleedin' male to find a holy suitable place to deposit his spermatophore. Listen up now to this fierce wan. If matin' goes on for too long, the oul' female may eventually lose interest, breakin' off the bleedin' process"

less than 300 posts in 9 years as a member of boards, i had to wonder was the OP doing some sort of reverse psychology to get hits on something that they themselves set up

Sky King · 20-04-2012 12:39PM

How does it work?

If it's be referencing the actual wiki page for the same thing and then irish-ifying it it's actually quite clever!

I prefer uncyclopedia for laffs though.

If that's what you want to do, go for it.

If you really think the international view is taken from this website, then you deserve to be ridiculed.

What the feck is phraseology? It's phases or phrasing.

Never said the International view is taken from this website.......but it certainly doesnt do it any good.......

Look..as Ive said Id find it funny if it wasnt so official....Is it an official website? Owned by Wikipedia?

Phraseology is fine, just not in that context. Phraseology is the study of err... phrases.
