Claire and those who live with her, I thank you for your hospitality.

Jowy, I hope you are well after yesterday.

Aragorn, I believe we should do this again sometime.

And Pevensies, I am back from 'holiday'.

Shite.

Me brother Concobhar was best at solving these, I'm terrible at it.

Thanks anyway.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I cannot say I didn't try, Eden. My apologies.

[eiremagic]

Nah, no need to apologize.

I'm sorry I compared you to the blondie tan. You're probably 10 times the man he is, anyway.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You don't have to say that either.

... What is a tan?

[eiremagic]

Someone from Britain.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[eiremagic]

You know, people wouldn't tease you so much if you didn't say things like, "Oh".

I'm just saying.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I believe they wouldn't tease me so much if I spoke more like the rest of you. I do not mind.

[eiremagic]

When I first got to Belfast, I barely spoke English.

People made fun of me all the time. But I'm pretty pissing angry, so I just fucked them up.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I do not follow.

[eiremagic]

I have a temper so I hurt them.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Ah, I can understand that.

[eiremagic]

If you say you fucked someone up, or you're going to fuck them up, it means you're planning on hurting them badly.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

And the occasion for such language?

[eiremagic]

For you?

When you really intend on killing or maiming someone. And you can do it. If you can't you just look like a bloody fool.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It's always good to learn more about the place in which you currently live.

[eiremagic]

Well I'll help teach you as much as you can stand it.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind, Eden.

[eiremagic]

Just...I don't do pop culture well...yet. House is trying to fix that.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

What is pop culture?

[eiremagic]

It's short for popular culture. It's sort of...

Okay, so you know how you probably have all these traditions and things that extend back long ways, all through your family? Well pop culture is the opposite of that. It exists now. Like television or movies or even certain books.

Like the way I speak, most of the time, that's a kind of pop culture, slang.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes, Telmarines have many traditions.

... I see. Such as vernacular?

[eiremagic]

Yeah; shite people used to say fifty years ago isn't pop culture anymore, and if it was back then there's a good reasoning that people probably forgot about it already.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

That is a lot to remember.

[eiremagic]

Yeah, it's why I don't bother much with it. Me family sort of clustered me; I don't watch much TV or anything.

But House likes to use references at work so I just suck it up and learn it.
