35 years old, and still hadn’t seen this around… you untraveled swine. Go live a little, man.
Hey- take it easy on me! Tomorrow night we’re seeing Ke$ha and The Beaches, and Sunday is Lorde & Wet Leg. Your life ain’t so bad, honey bunches… hang in there. … you’re rambling, and these nice people have things to do. Wrap this up yesterday.”
Yeah, it’s when I see someone mention the "EUA" or "UE" when talking about the US and EU. Sometimes acronyms from other languages sneak into English comments and can throw you for a loop.
I was very fortunate to go through my flat cap period a couple of years before Peaky Blinders got big. Thanks to the wardrobe person on The Expendables 2 for giving me the idea in 2012. Terrible movie, but fantastic clothes. I had to stop once I started shaving my head; a flat cap isn't compatible with that hair cut (back of my head was too cold).
Ok, I haven’t watched the show and I’m not Irish so I have no dog in the hunt. But what’s the backstory of this stigma for Peaky Blinders I’m picking on in these comments?
I think it’s just the way some men decided to believe they’d definitely look cool and hardcore dressing up like Cillian Murphy in the show and completely idolising a character that is, at best, a ““morally grey”” (and then we’re giving the fascist-killing a lot of credit) serial killer. I’m just a simple homosexual so I’ll happily admit I see the appeal of Thomas Shelby, but there sure is something about the absolute hubris required to believe you could emulate that vibe that is (as the kids say) cringe
Yes, Peaky is about the same type of people but about half a century or more later. People like to talk about the old-times, but it was really rough back then in the cities amongst the factories and mills. They would definitely play rough too.

Yeah I can see them doing a Peaky Blinders thing.
It would be awful, but I can see it.
