Culture Snippets
The Blarney Stone
By kissing the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle, it is claimed that one can receive the “Gift of the Gab” (eloquence, or skill at flattery or persuasion). No matter which origin story you believe, all agree on one thing: you’ll leave the Castle with great eloquence and skill at flattery once you’ve puckered your lips and kissed the stone!
