        Now people unironically ask Irish bartenders for car bombs and don’t see the issue.

          It’s never bothered me tbh, that’s an American thing. Never heard of it until I visited

            Yeah, I worked at an Irish bar for a while and we had a couple guys from Donegal that would go in on drunk college kids about it. Really the only anecdotes I have on the situation, though.

              Donegal is a border county, likely to be closer to home. Personally it took me being in Chicago and someone talking about it for it to click with me, I just thought you guys had weird names for things
