People can't stop laughing at these Irish fashion stories being shared on Twitter
From being labeled Super Mario for wearing a red beret or 'Eileen' for buying dungarees in the 90s, these stories of Irish slagging are priceless.
A new thread has been trending on Twitter this week and people can't stop laughing at the stories being shared online.
The thread was started by @janky_jane who posted about what happened to her when she wore what she thought was an edgy accessory in Co Waterford.
"Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in Ireland. I wore a red beret once in Waterford and someone called me Super Mario," she wrote.
The tweet has gone viral since being published on Monday and users all over Ireland, including The Rubberbandits and Michael Fry, have joined in, sharing their own stories.
From being compared to a boiler or being labelled a 'yank' for life for buying a leather jacket, here are our favourite stories shared so far.
Eoin O' Neill shared the following tale yesterday, which has already been liked over 20k times.
"Was wearing a vintage Nike jacket in a very long queue for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes, 'This is taking forever, your man has been here since the '80s'."

The Rubberbandits replied with two gems.
"There’s a fella in a village in West Limerick whose nickname is 'Shtyle' because he wore a leather jacket in the pub once about 15 years ago," they shared, along with another nickname story.
Also, the pure classic. The fella who’s name was “Spider” because his buddy saw him buying 4 pairs of Jeans

Our hearts broke for this user, but we did have a giggle.
This user will never be late again.
I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'.

Three stories for the price of one in this tweet.
Ruthless.
These three stories are proof that you should keep your friends close, and your coats short.
My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her

I was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, “Where are we off to now, Columbo?”

One my colleagues had an ankle-length dark green serge greatcoat, and when he burst through the office doors one day, another looked up and said: "What news of Stalingrad?" 🤣
