I once saw a guy in Dublin wearing a black and white horizontal stripes top, as he passed me a car stopped next to him and a lad leaned out the window and said “”Hey Beetlejuice, go fuck yourself!” and then the car drove off.
I had a classmate in university say she thought I was gay, because I was “dressed too nice”.
For any non-Irish here, doing anything vaguely interesting or different from normal is considered “notions”, and that you are acting better than you are. A lot of the comments are jokes but at the same time it’s quite a deep-rooted cultural thing!
Self-deprecating jokes are big here, acting in any way confident can get you labeled a prick. We are basically the anti-Yanks!
Berets are not stylish
Gotta wear a green beret that’s the cool one lately.
