[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Irie?
I wouldn't use it because to me it's entirely Jamaican, and since I'm completely not, it wouldn't feel appropriate to me. To be fair I also wouldn't name my child something like Emmanuel (too Biblical for me) or Borislav (too Slavic, which I am not in the least), so it's not that it's Jamaican so much as it's a distinctive part of another culture that I'm not connected to in any sense.

Irie is a Jamaican slang word, I'm pretty sure...  ·  Ora  ·  9/12/2006, 8:57 PM
