my family's irish. Well, my mother's side. I've *never* heard of this.
And when I say "Irish", I don't mean "one irish ancestor 80 years ago".. my mother's maiden name is Kelly.. she's second or third gen Canadian, and her family settled in a town called Lucan, chiefly famous for the Donnelly feud.
I wonder if it's actually a culturally American or southern thing. Has anyone *not* from Florida heard of this?
