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.

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.


.. 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.

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

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
