    AIR BRIDGE when talking about COVID-19, gives the impression of hermetically sealed safety and exclusivity which it isn't. Spain in particular will accept pretty much anyone as they rely on tourism so much.
    Do we now have to find a new word for that moveable passageway that takes people from an airport terminal to the plane without having to walk across the tarmac now?

    The Green Mile

    When it comes to the media including social media, I take a quasi-Voltairean approach, in that if you want to generically refer to people as culchies, boggers, muck-savages, rednecks, hicks, hillbillies, yokels, bumpkins, woollybacks, etc. then I'm not going to tell you that you can't but I'd have no problem criticising you or supporting others criticising you for doing so.

    However, I do believe companies and institutions should have the right to ban certain words within their organisations in order to create a less hostile and more productive environment.

    Ps. If you really want to call someone any of the above terms then I suggest that you don't mix up they're and their or write that's as thats because that's just irony.

    Actually I can't recall calling any person for the country any of them names in maybe a long long time. I've never met a culchie who couldn't give back the same amount of stick that he got of a dub. But I refuse to have anybody tell me what I can and what I can't say. Because next you won't be able to say him, her, it, that. Etc. So I'm keeping my free speech. But doesn't the word culchie sound so poetic, i'm gonna use it all the time slagging of everybody.
    Hey culchie lover can you tell me were the word culchie emanted from. Hopefully its nothing to do with kiltimagh.

    It actually is derived from coillte meaning woods or trees, like if someone got offended for being called a culchie we’d let him raise the turkeys with the women folk while we foot turf.

    Any word that's in the dictionary. We should start a new language.

    Hosfanihed (in old language means Hello in greeting the female)

    Hosdiched. (Means Hello when greeting the male)

    :D nice try but it's more the spoken form that brings me out in a rash!

    You know, like on a radio interview, Brendan o Connor or some sort of hack like that asks some super busy mother of 3 entrepreneur minor media personality about how she juggles kids and work and still manages to find time to do charity work, busk on o connell street and update her ****ing Insta while painting her nails and what does the "significant other do ..... like is he just sitting there in his boxers wearing an egg stained vest pulling the plums off himself most of the day

    Then we get regaled about the minor successes the hubby has encountered in the back garden putting up a shed or dropping the kids off at training while yer one is simultaneously inventing a new form of yoga and writing a lifrstyle article for a Sunday supplement etc etc

    Fair play I tried to get you twiching and you didn't bite.
    But wouldn't it be great having a coffee with you and going hubby hubby hubby and top it off hubby he's great he's the best without your hubby you'd be nothing you'd be a lost soul in this world without hubby hubby hubby you'd be a failure. With all the twitching you'd be doing people would think you were mad or afflicted and remember concesus would be your poor hubby has a lot to put up with.

    While I'm not one for censorship and arbitrarily banning words, I've always had a aversion to the word 'snog'. It just doesn't do the deed any justice. I find it rather obnoxious actually.

    Its just an awful word. I know someone that used the word a lot and they referred to their husband as "Poodle". So imagine "Can you get me a drinkipoo Poodle" and how that would grind your gears.

    Agree totally. It conjures up images of the back of a smelly hall with rain dripping down from a leak in the old roof.
