Wishing Well in Dublin

I don't get it Desmond.

Because of that fact, I must alert you to the fact that you might be suffering from something that I recently learnt about....it is called unconscious ableism.  It means that you are being unreasonable by making a joke that I don't understand.

I hope that my intended sarcastic-jokey-statement above (to you) is understood, not only by you, but also by EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has ever been here, or will ever come here.......because if not, then I guess I am also guilty of serious unconscious ableism too.

Perhaps we should both self-ban ourselves here - or perhaps I will be banned for explaining a new term that was recently explained to me here by another user here - or perhaps we should start a band called "The Banned Ones".........I think my head might explode now......or perhaps I will transmogrify into a Pug myself!!!!!!

Oh no!!  I just used a long weird word = "transmogrify".......so I guess I should signpost a link to a few webpages that explain what it means, or else I am DEFINITELY guilty of CONSCIOUS ableism?!?  I dread to think what the sanction for conscious ableism is here.......perhaps I should refer myself to the Screwtape Letters for guidance.....or would that be considered too elitist and ecclesiastical?

Crikey mate - when (and why) did life get so complicated here?!  What is to be done about it?

The joke hinges on the Dublin accent. For 'bords' read 'birds' (young women), and it is also, presumably, short for border collies (breed of dog). I think that's it.
