No problem.
@anon59642972 I am.
The gift of the gab is the talent of speaking. You have a gift for gabbing. It means you can speak easily and confidently, tell a good story or relay information in a coherent manner. It’s not a very common phrase for what it’s worth. Much more common among older folks.
So is something you’re born with or is it a developed skill? Or is more or less “just a sayin” and not really any magical gift anyways? Thanks for response btw
You could make an argument for both.
Some people are born naturally charismatic and able to talk with confidence and eloquence.
Other people however develop the skill overtime and become excellent speakers through the application of practice and applied skill.
Okay interesting. That pretty much sums that up since you’re Irish lol
Also, I always wondered if you guys were the only ones that truly had the gift of gab, since it does originate in ireland
Some folks would say it’s an Irish thing, given its origin, but I’ve met people from all over the world and many of them have the gift themselves.
Well that’s cool you can know if someone has it or not, I honestly wish I did because my social skills are shite in real life.
From an American point of view, I think you guys are friendlier than most, I would consider that the gift of gab in a way, many countries dislike Americans, I think it’s cool that you guys think outsiders can have the gift… without kissing the actual Blarney Stone of course lol
I’m not a terribly social person either, but I can still spin a good yarn if needs be.
There does seem to be a general idea about the Irish being friendly and familiar, but we can be just as bad as others. I try not to place to much importance on my nationality.
If I were Irish I would be proud of it. That was always a positive stereotype on you guys. Especially this time of year… after all it is almost St. Patrick’s day, and who knows, maybe civilization wouldn’t haven’t even worked out without the Irish
Nah, not me. The fact that I’m Irish is a happy accident, I could have been born somewhere else and I would still not feel any pride in my nationality. It’s simply a part of me. There are more important things to be proud of, if you ask me.
I get what you’re saying. As an American, I’m not as proud as some of my American friends lol, but honestly I didn’t ever really completely buy into all the things that would make you proud to be an American lol. Not saying that in a condescending way, but America hasn’t really turned out the way our founding fathers wanted it. That is interesting to know someone isn’t proud of their Irish nationality, just saying I feel like you guys have contributed a lot, even if it wasn’t you personally.
There just isnt as much to be proud about being American, as there is in poets, and literature, and all the things considered irish
Well from now on I’ll try to be a little bit more proud of my heritage haha
Hey why not? Haha
