I had something similar happen last year. I was in Walgreen's and was pretty much in full dress, walked past some homies; one says "dude's in a dress" another one says "no esse, that guy's one of those Irish guys, he'll bust you b***...See the knife in his sock..he'll cut you man, just leave him alone". Now, number one I said nothing. Number two the impression was very clear I would go Hulk if they so much as said a word. And three, their grasp of Irish and Scottish left a lot to be desired.
