So i had no idea what this meant and googled it...

Quote:

The Blarney Stone (Irish: Cloch na Blarnan) is a block of Carboniferous limestone[1] built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney, about 8 kilometres (5 mi) from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the stone and tour the castle and its gardens.

The word blarney has come to mean "clever, flattering, or coaxing talk". John O'Connor Power's definition is succinct: 'Blarney is something more than mere flattery. It is flattery sweetened by humour and flavoured by wit. Those who mix with Irish folk have many examples of it in their everyday experience.

hummy 03-15-2015 11:01 AM


i agree

Maha-Aamir 03-15-2015 11:09 AM

and funny!!! hehehehe
Is eloquence that important really???

Dystopia 03-15-2015 11:36 AM

Eloquence is very useful. I only have it in writing tho!

Maha-Aamir 03-15-2015 11:42 AM

you are lucky then, i wish i had it in writing...
i love stories!

BellyButton 03-15-2015 04:08 PM

I've actually been there! The little man that worked there (helps people lean, like shown here) told me that they like to pee on it after everyone goes home. [lol]


.. I'm pretty sure he was just trying to illustrate the concept of Blarney by being full o' crap, but it was still funny/gross.

Maha-Aamir 03-15-2015 04:51 PM

Oh dear... we need something strong to scrub it then hehehe

zyne 03-15-2015 05:14 PM

that's really gross :x
but it's also kind of cute. like a rite of passage... kissing a pee-soaked stone.

Nephila 03-15-2015 08:23 PM

I'd probably do it. XD

Dystopia 03-16-2015 02:39 AM

... That is absolutely gross.

I'm all for doing crazy things for the experience, but that's too much, even for me!

Nephila 03-17-2015 12:08 AM

Hehe.

I think the gift of persuasiveness and all those things really go to those making people kiss it not the person kissing it. XD

zyne 03-17-2015 12:35 AM

i'd probably do it for some cash :p
i licked a parking lot floor once.. i can do this.

Kasumi Ocada 03-17-2015 12:37 AM

I've always gotten a kick out of that word.

aliceinwonderland99 03-17-2015 01:07 AM

I have not seen it in person but I have heard of it. And im one of those people that wishes to try and kiss it. I dont think I will make it, but I am willing to try

salvete 03-17-2015 04:09 AM

I am not sure I would kiss that stone.

Maha-Aamir 03-17-2015 07:55 AM

i would like to go visit this place but i doubt anything can make me kiss it hehehe...

Dystopia 03-17-2015 08:20 AM

Agreed. I'll blow it a kiss, and that's all!
