Hahahahaha LarrySun can you believe this guy? He calls me a kid and questions my knowledge of Irish folk lore, much less my age? What's next? He'll question my literary skills? Who is this guy?

You can't answer the question?

Nothing is complicated. You are or you aren't. It's simple. I'm not interested in playing games anyway. Thanks

Why would you just say "ok". He's wrong. He's just too stubborn to admit it. He reminds of this quote.

ELFS are reputed as being clever and/or mischievous in folklores and not LEPRECHAUNS/FAIRIES.

Cc: LarrySun

The word "leprechaun" is derived from the Irish lu chorpain, meaning "small body." Various attributes have been used to describe leprechauns. While the origins and the history surrounding leprechauns differ, one common thread is that these creatures are surrounded in magic. Some believed leprechauns were descendents of the Goddess Danu and the Tuatha De Danaan. They inhabited Ireland long before the Celts arrived, and when the Celts did come, brandishing iron swords that could penetrate the leprechauns' magic, leprechauns fled to underground abodes in the soil shielded by magical, hidden entrances. Some say leprechauns still reside under the damp soil.

Leprechauns are small, smart and devious little characters, usually dressed from head to toe in green and with ginger hair and a ginger beard. They date back to Irish mythology and were described by many as “wee folk.”

"Leprechauns are very wily, and they can vanish in the twinkling of an eye. This is why it is impossible to trick a Leprechaun out of either his pot of gold or magic shilling. Leprechauns have two great loves: drinking whiskey and smoking tobacco.. They are either cheerful and happy or very sullen. A Leprechaun's mood depends on how much whiskey he has drunk. They are shoemakers for the Faeries and can usually be found working on a shoe."

Forgive me, but you are wrong sir. My mother is Irish. Her Grandfather was born there. Ask an Irishman. They will tell you that Leprechauns are smart, devious and feisty little folk.

When you say 'short', do you mean physically short or...psychologically? Americans are famous for their ironic terms.

Physically

I have to wonder about the definition here though. Many of the stories about leprechauns and fairies that I've read or heard portray them as very clever and mischievous.

TheSonOfMark:

A leprechaun is a fairy in Irish folklore. By default, fairies are lightheaded, happy-go-lucky beings with below-par ratiocinating abilities.

Consequently, saying a person is a leprechaun means the person is a featherbrain ,stùpid or an idìot.

Here in America it can also mean you are calling someone "short".
