Things that were once considered privileges – like flexible working hours or the ability to work from anywhere on any device – are becoming the new normal. <br /><br /><br />Along with these tectonic changes came the least-anticipated <keyword id="12242899" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="great-resignation" source="Orion">Great Resignation</keyword> – the phenomenon that describes large numbers of workers leaving their jobs in the post-pandemic era. The term, coined by Professor <keyword id="14495514" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="anthony-klotz" source="Orion">Anthony Klotz</keyword> of Texas A&amp;M University, has become a major concern for every CXO in the world. <br /><br /><br />Overstressed employees and the leaders’ inability to empathise with their employees are contributing to this mass work exodus. <br /><br /><br />As the trend continues well into this year, <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/06/the-great-resignation-is-not-over/">one in five workers</a> globally are planning to quit in 2022, according to PwC’s Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey of more than 52,000 workers across 44 countries and territories. Pay was held to be the main factor that decides a change in job, with 71% employees in the survey indicating that they expect to be ‘fairly rewarded financially’ for the work they do. But there is certainly more to it than that.<br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What does it mean for tech leaders?" comment="subhead" text="What does it mean for tech leaders?"><span data-til="noop">What does it mean for tech leaders?</span></cmsannotation><br />Right from the onset of the Great Resignation, tech and healthcare industries have been witnessing the highest levels of attrition. This, coupled with the latest figures on attrition – about 86% of people are planning to resign in the next six months in India, according to a <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/relationships/work/86-indian-employees-are-expected-to-resign-in-6-months-recruitment-agency/articleshow/92105254.cms">report by recruitment agency Michael Page,</a> – it’s evident that we are going to see the Great Resignation in all its intensity in 2022. <br /><br /><br />The key reason for this trend, according to the <keyword id="1637808" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="michael-page" source="Orion">Michael Page</keyword> report, is how employees are re-evaluating what constitutes quality work, and they want it to be purposeful. A significant 61% of respondents in India are willing to accept a lower salary or forgo pay rise and/or promotion for better work-life balance, overall well-being and happiness. <br /><br /><br />For the chief information officers (CIOs) who are in charge of leading ambitious digital transformation initiatives for their organisations, this presents unprecedented challenges. Several CIOs are already reporting that they find it increasingly difficult to attract and retain skilled developers needed to drive digital transformation (DX). DX-related IT skill shortages will affect 90% of global enterprises by 2025, <a href="https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS48395221">according to IDC</a>. <br /><br /><br />Hiring and retaining workers was cited as <a href="https://sapinsider.org/how-the-great-resignation-is-impacting-cio-priorities/">the second-biggest challenge by CIOs in 2022</a>, while it was not even among the top 4 till 2021, according to a <keyword id="14495515" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sapinsider" source="Orion">SAPinsider</keyword> survey. CIOs must now work with fewer resources to meet their strategic goals around digital transformation, innovation and agility. Worse still, this throws teams into another vicious cycle of employee burnout and dissatisfaction.<br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The way forward" comment="subhead" text="The way forward"><span data-til="noop">The way forward</span></cmsannotation><br />If CIOs are to succeed in retaining talent, it’s time to relook at strategies. Most employees are looking at exciting and fulfilling roles and holistic work culture, with fair pay being the foundation. Tech leaders who have been successful in managing talent are focusing on offering more flexibility, improving employee engagement and training/upskilling existing team members. Working closely with employees with niche skills, who are more likely to quit, helps them retain critical talent in the long run. <br /><br /><br />The most important thing to do, according to <keyword id="14495516" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="olly-riches" source="Orion">Olly Riches</keyword>, senior managing director at Michael Page, is to entice talent passion. “...Candidates are increasingly less interested in moving within the same industry and more interested in new ideas, beyond their current role, department and industry even. There’s a hesitancy to simply change business cards for a 20% increase. Which is good news — if they’re going to move, it needs to be very, very enticing in order to take that leap. But that puts the onus on their current employer to entice them through passion,” he says. <br /><br /><br /><keyword id="13185080" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sharath-srinivasamurthy" source="Orion">Sharath Srinivasamurthy</keyword>, research director at IDC, believes that solving the skills equation has become a C-suite issue, and Indian enterprises are moving to create a culture of continuous learning and collaboration that will support their digital resiliency efforts in the future. <br /><br /><br />Clearly, employees in the tech sector are in an advantageous position, with a clear understanding of their potentials and future options. The onus is on the CXOs to change their focus and create a win-win situation. <br /><br /><br />

How CIOs can navigate the Great Resignation

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"Bel-Air" star Olly Sholotan told Insider that he is "proud" that people hate his character.</li><li>Fans have expressed on social media how much they dislike the changes made to Carlton in the reboot.</li></ul><p>The <a href="https://www.insider.com/bel-air-carlton-olly-sholotan-screamed-will-smith-2022-2">"Bel-Air" Carlton Banks actor</a> is convinced that "haters" of his character will eventually love him after seeing his journey in later episodes in the season.</p><p>The new Peacock series turns the 90s sitcom "<keyword id="13254102" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="fresh-prince" source="Orion">Fresh Prince</keyword> of Bel-Air" into a modern drama about fictional Will Smith's (Jabari Banks) journey from rags to riches. Olly Sholotan plays Smith's cousin Carlton, a character that has riled up fans of both the new show and the original.</p><p>In the original series, Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro) was a corny, loveable nerd but the new series paints the character as a villain, clashing with his cousin on multiple occasions in the first episode alone. In one moment, Carlton even defends white students rapping the N-word in songs.</p><p>In an interview with Insider about his version of the character, Sholotan said that the hatred for his character doesn't bother him at all.</p><p>"I think apathy is the enemy of excellence," he said. "And so in all honesty, it would've been worse if I think people were like, 'yeah, this new Carlton, he's fine.' I think nothing's worse than fine. Nothing's worse than average."</p><p>Sholotan also said he was "proud" that fans were having a deeply emotional reaction to his character.</p><div type="image" title="Carlton new and old Bel Air" height="1200" width="1600" msid="89849585" hostid="261"></div><p>"That's what I think is so beautiful about this version of Carlton," the Carlton actor said. "It's that you really get to peel back the layers of what these things do to the psyche of a 16-year-old kid. If you tell someone for as long as they've been socialized that, 'Hey! Even though you identify as Black, you don't really act Black. You don't deserve to be Black.' How does that affect the psyche and what does that do?"</p><p>He added: "I think that the show starts at a rough point in Carlton's life and I am excited for viewers to see his journey."</p><p>For Sholotan, Carlton redeems himself in later episodes because the audience gets a glimpse into the character's personal struggle and battle with anxiety. But he says he'll leave the audience to decide their thoughts. </p><p>He said: "The only thing I gotta say is y'all haters will be lovers."</p><p>On Twitter, Sholotan has been responding to some of the memes and comments about his character. </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—Olly Sholotan  (@AfricanGodling) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1492926059523629057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 13, 2022</a></blockquote><p>Carlton has even been compared to another hated TV character, <a href="https://twitter.com/RickMoney1967/status/1495790924059844614">Tariq St Patrick</a> from <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/power-book-2">Starz's drama "Power."</a> In 2020, Michael Rainey Jr., who plays Tariq, told Insider a fan accosted him because of his <a href="https://www.insider.com/power-book-ghost-michael-rainey-jr-interview-black-lead-2020-12">character's actions on the show.</a></p><p>Sholotan told Insider that the memes are "hilarious" but the comparison to Tariq was a "little unfair."</p><p>The 23-year-old actor said: "I don't think Carlton's irredeemably evil, but I think that people need to experience that feeling right now. And then if that changes, that changes."</p><p> New episodes of "Bel-Air" are out on Thursdays on Peacock TV.</p>

<p><div class="image-container float_right"><div class="image"><img src="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/523cbc3969bedd9259cb58c3-736-552/richard-nixon-1.jpg?maxX=480" border="0" alt="Richard Nixon" width="480" /><p class="source on-image"><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NIXONcampaigns.jpg">Ollie Atkins, White House photographer, via Wikimedia Commons</a></p><p class="caption">Richard Nixon gives his "victory" sign in Philadelphia in July 1968.</p></div></div>Conservative hero and<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/18/plaintiffs-etched-in-supreme-court-history/2834421/"> Alabama businessman Shaun McCutcheon</a> will have his day in the Supreme Court court this fall in a case that could let rich people like him have political parties in their pockets.</p>
<p>McCutcheon, who has the <a href="http://www.scotusblog.com/2013/08/new-order-list/">backing of Senator Mitch McConnell, (R-Ky.)</a>, is fighting the federal overall cap on money a person can give to candidates or political parties during a two-year election cycle.</p>
<p>Federal <keyword id="6355470" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Law">law</keyword> currently lets <a href="http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/contriblimits.shtml">people give $2,600</a> to a candidate per election and $123,000 to campaigns, parties, or political action committees over a two-year period.</p>
<p>McCutcheon is just challenging the aggregate $123,000 cap. If the Supreme Court does away with the two-year cap, however, the wealthy could provide millions of dollars to a political party through various candidates or a single "joint fundraising committee,"<a href="http://www.democracy21.org/inside-the-courts/press-releases-inside-the-courts/q-and-a-on-mccutcheon-supreme-court-case/"> the advocacy group Demoracy 21 says</a>.</p>
<p>Without the cap, the group says, "we would be back to the same kind of huge contributions that constituted legalized corruption and resulted in the Watergate scandals in the 1970s."</p>
<p>The Supreme Court's conservative majority is already not a huge fan of <keyword id="1076393" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="campaign-finance">campaign finance</keyword> limits. The court <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission#Overview">ruled in 2010</a> that corporations can spend as much money as they want to advocate for a political candidate. That decision, known as Citizens United, led to a nearly $1 billion spending "blitz" by special interests in the 2012 election, <a href="http://www.publicintegrity.org/2013/01/16/12027/court-opened-door-933-million-new-election-spending">according to the Center for Public Integrity</a>.</p>
<p>McCutcheon's crusade against individual spending limits is just "<a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/07/supreme-court-another-citizens-united-but-worse.html">another Citizens United - but worse</a>," as the legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin wrote in The New Yorker. Despite what some people think, Citizens United didn't let corporations give as much money as they wanted to political candidates. Citizens just lets Corporate America spend freely on groups that endorse campaigns (otherwise known as Political Action Committees, or PACs.)</p>
<p>McCutcheon's case could give rich people more influence by letting them spend wildly on a single political party by giving to various candidates who belong to that party.</p>
<p>The wealthy could even have a lot of influence over single candidates through so-called joint fundraising committees, according to <a href="http://www.democracy21.org/inside-the-courts/press-releases-inside-the-courts/q-and-a-on-mccutcheon-supreme-court-case/">Democracy 21</a>. Candidates work together to raise money through those committees, which are currently subject to the overall cap McCutcheon is fighting. Without that cap, donors could contribute much more money to joint-fundraising campaigns - potentially millions depending on how many state parties and party committees are participating.</p>
<p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30">Congress enacted campaign finance limits to stop this kind of spending back in the 70s after Watergate. The notorious hotel break-in eventually exposed the Nixon campaign's efforts to bully companies into giving political contributions, according to a good <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/04/politics/watergate-reform/index.html">overview of the scandal on CNN.com</a>. Those companies wanted favors in return.</p>
<p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30">"There was a widespread public perception that the political process had been thoroughly corrupted," Cornell Law Professor Robert Hockett told CNN. "Public policy seemed to be up for sale to the highest bidder."</p>
<p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30">The Supreme Court has gradually picked away at Congress' post-Watergate attempts to improve the public's perceptions of the nation's lawmakers. Not long after the reforms were passed, in 1976, the court did away with limits on the amount of money candidates <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckley_v._Valeo">could spend on campaigns</a>.</p>
<p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30">The McCutcheon decision this fall will likely be the court's next move to let money flow a little more freely into lawmakers' pockets given the current composition of the Supreme Court. The court's four liberal justices will probably vote to keep caps on individual spending, and the four conservative justices will opt to kill them.</p>
<p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30">Swing voter Anthony Kennedy, who will probably cast the deciding vote, has already shown his hostility for campaign finance limits. He wrote the majority opinion in Citizens United, which found corporations had a First Amendment right to "political speech."</p>
<p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph30">"Citizens United was not an aberration for this Court," Jeffrey Toobin <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/07/supreme-court-another-citizens-united-but-worse.html">wrote for The New Yorker</a>. The justices in the majority, he added, are "engaging in a long-term project to deregulate campaigns."</p>

Wrexham AFC, Wales' first ever professional soccer team, was birthed in 1864 by members of the town's cricket club. It started playing its games at the Racecourse Ground — the oldest international soccer stadium in the world — that same year and has remained there ever since.</p><p>In its early days, the club dominated Welsh soccer, winning the Welsh Senior League twice and the Welsh Cup 12 times before moving to play in the English Football League (EFL) in 1921.</p><p>The Dragons remained in the EFL for the next 88 years, mainly fluttering between divisions four and two. However, marred by financial problems caused by a controversial takeover in 2002, they were demoted to the National League in 2009, then the Conference National, for the first time in their history.</p><p>Two years after dropping out of the EFL, Wrexham was sold to its supporters' trust, which subsequently worked to restore the club to its former glory. And while the trust was able to clear the club's debts, it was unable to provide the financial backing to revamp the squad.</p><p>Enter Reynolds and McElhenney.</p><p>In the first summer transfer window following the actors' takeover, Parkinson oversaw a complete overhaul of the squad he inherited from previous boss Dean Keates — signing 11 players, including the experienced central defensive pairing Ben Tozer and Shaun Brisley.</p><p>In January, the club then signed four more players, including striker Ollie Palmer, who joined for a club-record fee from AFC Wimbledon.</p><p>The new-look squad — headed by Palmer, who has scored 15 goals since arriving — has put Wrexham on the brink of a sensational return to the EFL. Finishing second in the league, the club secured itself an automatic spot in the play-off semifinals, where it will face either Notts County or Grimsby at the end of the month. </p><p>"If I was a supporter, I'd want to see the owners put a structure in place to make this club a strong one, for future years, not just this season" said Parkinson.

On top of now having a medical department, the team has managed to secure a high-profile sponsorship deal with global entertainment platform TikTok. And after being name-checked on the wildly popular AppleTV+ series "Ted Lasso," the club is set to star in an all-access docuseries on Netflix – "Welcome to Wrexham" – that will showcase Reynolds' and McElhenney's first two seasons at the Racecourse Ground. </p><p>The club has also attracted a wave of new supporters from across the world, thanks largely to its <a href="https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/2022/february/one-year-on--how-wrexham-afc-has-changed-since-the-takeover/">massively increased social media presence,</a> undoubtedly driven by the <keyword id="6355064" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="celebrity" source="Orion">celebrity</keyword> of their new owners. </p><p>"We've had to evolve quickly, this club has been moving at some speed this season," said Parkinson. "I think we've gotten better as a team as the season has gone on, and I think behind-the-scenes there is a far better structure now.</p><p>"Rob and Ryan have worked hard to put things in place to take the club forward for years to come."</p><div type="image" title="Wrexham co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds during a press conference at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham." height="1378" width="2000" msid="91750064" hostid="261"></div><h2>Wrexham AFC has a long and rich history.</h2><p>Sitting just 25 miles south of Liverpool, Wrexham is a quaint market town which lies right between the Welsh mountains and the picturesque lower Dee Valley. Wrexham AFC, Wales' first ever professional soccer team, was birthed in 1864 by members of the town's cricket club. It started playing its games at the Racecourse Ground — the oldest international soccer stadium in the world — that same year and has remained there ever since.</p><p>In its early days, the club dominated Welsh soccer, winning the Welsh Senior League twice and the Welsh Cup 12 times before moving to play in the English Football League (EFL) in 1921.</p><p>The Dragons remained in the EFL for the next 88 years, mainly fluttering between divisions four and two. However, marred by financial problems caused by a controversial takeover in 2002, they were demoted to the National League in 2009, then the Conference National, for the first time in their history.</p><p>Two years after dropping out of the EFL, Wrexham was sold to its supporters' trust, which subsequently worked to restore the club to its former glory. And while the trust was able to clear the club's debts, it was unable to provide the financial backing to revamp the squad.</p><p>Enter Reynolds and McElhenney.</p><p>In the first summer transfer window following the actors' takeover, Parkinson oversaw a complete overhaul of the squad he inherited from previous boss Dean Keates — signing 11 players, including the experienced central defensive pairing Ben Tozer and Shaun Brisley.</p><p>In January, the club then signed four more players, including striker Ollie Palmer, who joined for a club-record fee from AFC Wimbledon.</p><p>The new-look squad — headed by Palmer, who has scored 15 goals since arriving — has put Wrexham on the brink of a sensational return to the EFL. Finishing second in the league, the club secured itself an automatic spot in the play-off semifinals, where it will face either Notts County or Grimsby at the end of the month. </p><p>"If I was a supporter, I'd want to see the owners put a structure in place to make this club a strong one, for future years, not just this season" said Parkinson. "And that's been done, there's a lot of good work gone on.</p><p>"I feel this is a squad which can take the club forward for a few years to come. There is talent in the squad. There are players who are only going to get better, there is a good blend of experience and youth," the manager said.

6 London restaurants that were just given Michelin stars for the first time

<p>Taken with the court's previous decision in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission">Citizens United</a>, which lets corporations give unlimited money to political campaigns, "today's decision eviscerates our Nation's campaign finance laws, leaving a remnant incapable of dealing with the grave problems of democratic legitimacy that those laws were intended to solve," Breyer wrote.</p>
<p>The long-anticipated decision in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/whats-at-stake-in-mccutcheon-v-fec-2013-2">McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission</a> technically does not change the limits on the amount of money people can give to single politicians; it just gets rid of a $123,000 overall cap that on contributions to candidates and political committees during a two-year election cycle.</p>
<p>But the dissent by Breyer, which liberal justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg signed onto, argues that McCutcheon still allows for sneaky ways to let rich people give millions to a single politician.</p>
<p>"It creates a loophole that will allow a single individual to contribute millions of dollars to a political party or a candidate's campaign," Breyer writes in his dissent. He added, "The methods for using today's opinion to evade the <keyword id="6355470" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Law">law</keyword>'s individual contribution limits are complex, but they are well known, or will become well known, to party fundraisers."</p>
<p>Under McCutcheon, donors will be able to give up to $3.6 million to a single party fundraising committee, which can then channel that money to a single candidate, Breyer warns. The possibility that one person could effectively give millions to one candidate opens the door for significant corruption, he wrote.</p>
<p>"The justification for aggregate contribution restrictions is strongly rooted in the need to assure political integrity and ultimately in the First Amendment itself," Breyer wrote. "The threat to that integrity posed by the risk of special access and influence remains real."</p>

Made in Chelsea's Hugo Taylor: The new seasons of the show are 'completely fabricated'

How the $36 billion vitamin industry tricked a generation of adults into believing sugary gummies were the ticket to good health

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/55039d956da811d4748b4567-1089-816/barack-obama-michelle-guinness-irish-pub-1.jpg" border="0" alt="barack obama michelle guinness irish pub"><p class="source"><span><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Barack_and_Michelle_Obama_in_Ollie_Hayes_Pub.jpg">Wikimedia Commons</a></span></p><p class="caption">President Obama talks with pub-goers as First Lady Michelle Obama draws a pint of stout at the Ollie Hayes pub in Moneygall, Ireland, in spring 2011.</p></img></div><p></p></div></div>Each year on March 17, the Irish and Irish-at-heart come out in droves to pubs and parade routes to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland.</span></p><p>In the US, St. Patrick's Day serves as a valid excuse to wear green and drink. <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But there's enough rich Irish culture to last the whole year round.</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">We scoured Celtic folklore, online forums, the Bible, and even our favorite Irish pub in New York City to find some beautiful and just plain weird sayings used on the Emerald Isle.</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Some of the sayings are historic, out-of-use proverbs with original Irish Gaelic translations (today, as little as <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/european_languages/countries/ireland.shtml" target="_blank">30% of the population</a> in the Republic of Ireland speak Irish). </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Others are examples of modern slang said in English, the shared official language.</span></p><h2>Here are 15 Irish expressions to break out on St. Paddy's Day:</h2><h3>1. May the road rise up to meet you.</h3><p>You may recognize this popular blessing (in Irish Gaelic: <span><em>Go n-éirí an bóthar leat</em>)</span> from Catholic weddings or cross-stitched pillows in Nan's house. <a href="http://www.lords-prayer-words.com/famous_prayers/may_the_road_rise_up_to_meet_you.html#celtic" target="_blank">One of the main characteristics of Celtic Christianity</a> is the use of images of nature to show how God interacts with people. "May the road rise up to meet you/ May the wind be always at your back/ May the sun shine warm upon you face ..." uses everyday images to mean, may God remove obstacles in your journey through life.</p><h3>2. Sláinte!</h3><p>In an Irish pub, patrons toast each other <em>sláinte </em>(pronounced "slaan-sha") as they clink glasses of Guinness. Derived from the Old Irish adjective <em>slán </em>(which means "<a href="http://goireland.about.com/od/preparingyourtrip/tp/top10irishwords.htm" target="_blank">safe</a>"), <em>sláinte </em>literally translates as "health" and is used as a stand-in for the more time-consuming "I drink to your health!"</p><h3>3. What's the craic?</h3><p>Greetings like "Any craic?" and "How's the craic?" give rise to potential awkward misunderstandings for tourists, because craic is pronounced like "crack." The most straightforward definition is fun or enjoyment, and it can substitute for "How are you?" A typical response is "divil a bit," which means "not much."</p><h3>4. May the cat eat you, and may the devil eat the cat.</h3><p>Consider this insult a double whammy. By saying, "<em>Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat</em>," the speaker wishes that a cat gobble up his enemy like a can of Fancy Feast, and that the Devil eat them both. It's a surefire sentence to Hell.</p><p>Curses are far more detailed and nuanced in Irish culture, as compared to the traditional F-bombs dropped in the U.S. Here's another popular mouthful of an insult: "May you be afflicted with itching without the benefit of scratching." Burn.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5502f3aeecad041b07a86ea2-1154-865/county-kerry-ireland-1.jpg" border="0" alt="county kerry ireland"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/giuseppemilo/14257004940">Flickr / Giuseppe Milo</a></span></p><p class="caption">County Kerry, Ireland.</p></img></div><p></p></div></div></p><h3>5. Two people shorten the road.</h3><p><span>Company makes the journey fly, as evidenced by one anecdote from <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=BBDTOWaksHEC&amp;pg=PT251&amp;lpg=PT251&amp;dq=Son+of+The+Gobhaun+Saor&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=YzvClnyI3_&amp;sig=5d6yaV-B2PMHhgQ8q7j4e7OkTgw&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=XHQgU5O4E6_8yAHJw4D4BQ&amp;ved=0CDUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&amp;q=Gobhaun%20Saor%20shorten%20the%20road&amp;f=false" target="_blank">Celtic folklore</a>. In it, a father asks his son to "shorten their journey" to see the king, and refuses to continue on foot when the son doesn't know how. Frustrated, the son asks his wife what to do. "Every one knows that storytelling is the way to shorten a road," she says. They set out the next morning, and the son weaves a tale the whole way to White Strand. Lesson learned: <em>Giorraíonn beirt bóthar.</em></span></p><h3>6. Story horse?</h3><p>Move aside, Wishbone. "What's the story, horse?" - abbreviated as "story horse?" - is how you ask a buddy what's up. It's a less breezy greeting than its American counterpart, and invites the other person to really dive into what's been going on in life.</p><h3>7. On me tod.</h3><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">A lonely lad says, "I'm on me tod," if he's riding solo at the bars that night, or alone in general. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/books/00/10/22/reviews/001022.22brucknt.html" target="_blank">Tod Sloan</a><span> was an American jockey whose mother died when he was young, whose father abandoned him, and whose incredibly successful horse-racing career came to an end when he moved to the U.K. and was ridiculed for his Western riding style. Sloan was always said to be "on his own."</span></span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This expression is one of the best-known examples of <a href="http://www.englishtown.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-cockney-rhyming-slang/" target="_blank">Cockney rhyming slang</a>, a phrase construction that involves taking a common word and using a rhyming phrase of two or three words to replace it. <span>"On my Tod Sloan" rhymes with "on my own"; but in typical Cockney fashion, the word that completes the rhyme</span><span> (</span><span>"</span><span>Sloan") </span><span>is omitted.</span></span></p><h3>8. Acting the maggot.</h3><p>Friend's messing around, being obnoxious? Acting the maggot. Phone taking forever to deliver an iMessage? Acting the maggot. Comparing someone or something to a wriggly little white worm means they're behaving like a fool.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/55039e75eab8ea8a1d8b4567-1060-795/celtic-irish-girl-woman-st-patricks-day-1.jpg" border="0" alt="celtic irish girl woman st. patrick's day"><p class="source"><span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/garryknight/8676934889/sizes/h/">Flickr/garryknight</a></span></p><p class="caption">Irish girl.</p></img></div><p></p></div></div></p><h3>9. You son is your son today, but your daughter is your daughter forever.</h3><p>A man is only a son until he takes a wife. But as a daughter gets older, she will stay near the family, draining it of money and time for years to come. In <span>Irish Gaelic</span>, it's <em>Is é do mhac do mhac inniú, ach is í d'iníon d'iníon go deo</em>.</p><h3>10. 'Tis only a stepmother would blame you.</h3><p>There's no need to be embarrassed or feel badly about committing a small offense, if the deed is so insignificant that only a jealous, belittling stepmother could find fault with you.</p><h3>11. We're sucking diesel now.</h3><p>When things are going exceptionally well and you've found success, not by luck but by your own merit, pat yourself on the back by saying, "I'm sucking diesel." Or, celebrate that your Oldsmobile Diesel started up for what could be the last time.</p><h3>12. S---- in a bucket.</h3><p>Behold the raunchiest Irish slang used in sports: the English curse word "s---" with an "e" tacked on the end. It's pretty self-explanatory. When the Republic of Ireland's footballer James McCarthy recently <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/05/ireland-serbia-international-friendly-match-report" target="_blank">tackled the ball</a> into his own net, giving Serbia its first goal of the game, spectators at t<span>he Aviva Stadium in Dublin were certainly mumbling this under their breath.</span></p><h3>13. That one suffers from a double-dose of original sin.</h3><p>The Bible proposes that when Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he cast a state of sin on all of mankind. Today, if a child is particularly mischievous, he's said to have <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">been twice-cursed by Adam's slip-up.</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The phrase became popular in the 1880s, when proponents of British rule over Ireland <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=IVA0AQAAMAAJ&amp;pg=PA53&amp;lpg=PA53&amp;dq=april+13+1886+home+rule+bill&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=4XUrqbhx_b&amp;sig=OkOABToZGI2q-drFw409UjMMfxA&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=maUgU-uwN8bH0QH524HAAg&amp;ved=0CCoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=double%20dose&amp;f=false" target="_blank">attributed the Irishmen's depravity of character</a> (and the famine, some argued) to their second helping of original sin.</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/52eff8dfeab8eac268235777-1024-768/buddy-christ-thumbs-up.jpg" border="0" alt="buddy christ thumbs up"><p class="source"><span>Dogma / Wikimedia, CC</span></p><p class="caption">Buddy Christ.</p></img></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><h3>14. Christ on a bike!</h3><p>Considered blasphemous by some Christians, the odd turn of phrase is a way of saying, "I can't believe what I'm seeing." <span>First "</span><span></span><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/27/opinion/costello-jesus-movie/" target="_blank">#HotJesus</a><span>," now this. </span></p><h3>15. State o'you.</h3><p>A popular exclamation used in inner Dublin, "Look at the state o'you!" implies that a person's attire, personal hygiene, intoxication level, or general demeanor is worrisome. One might describe his drinking companion as being in a "bleedin' state" if he "gets pissed" or "wrecked" on lager at the pub.</p><p><em>Thanks to New York's <a href="http://www.thegaelpubnyc.com/main.html" target="_blank">The Gael Pub</a>'s Irish bartenders Ronan Carter, of County Sligo, and Rory Galligan, of County Cavan, for helping us research this story.</em></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/teenager-fishing-shark-australia-video-2015-1">Incredible Video Of A Teenager Catching A 440-Pound Shark On A Beach</a></h3>        <div>            <div>    <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/v3/6e12e8b3387a44daacfb73afba25a76e"></script>    <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="l1YTkwczr4elji3M7sL8y18JnQ96ZJTr" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>    <script>    if (typeof RunFunctions === 'undefined') { var RunFunctions = []; }     RunFunctions.push(function()    {         var ooyalapopvideo = OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer_popvideo', 'l1YTkwczr4elji3M7sL8y18JnQ96ZJTr',{ autoplay: 'false' });     });    </script>    <noscript><div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div></noscript></div>        </div>        <script>(function() { function createPlayer() { OO.ready(function() { RunFunctions.forEach(function(ooyalaFunction) { ooyalaFunction(); }); RunFunctions = [];}); } createPlayer(); }()); </script>    </div>
