Cheesus Christ!
*I’ll get me coat*
Block of calvita would do some damage to anyone
Nah, homelander gave her too many digs.
Did you know there’s a Ballypitmeave in Antrim?
The Town of Medb’s Vulva …
It annoys me when I see it written as Medb in places like Wikipedia. It’s only Medb in the old script and even then, it should have the lenition dot over the d and b.
Since Gaelic script is out of practice (and not even properly used here), it should be spelled with the modern script so it should be written as Medhbh.
I suppose being taken out by a nice piece of cheese isn’t the worst way to go 😂
The killers deserved the win
Oh yeah Irish mythology is absolutely wild:
Meḋḃ to Ferdia:
“[Fight for me and I will give you] Finnabair my daughter for your wife and my own friendly thighs on top of that if needs be.”
