Not to put too fine a point on it, but Urban Dictionary is basically only useful to seeing what functionally house-bound suburbanite teenage boys imagine various slang phrases to mean. Which is a great shame! I love etymology and etymology sites. But that one, alas, is a write-off.
I really think this is off topic, but there were no Irish people around to insult and I don’t see a plausible reason why that meaning would be relevant here. I’m a speaker who doesn’t use it that way (and who could be insulted by its use to derogate Irish people), and I provided evidence that it wasn’t originally meant that way. Defending particular phrases that could be insulting in certain contexts isn’t the hill I want to die on, but I think in a number of cases it’s a bit like the “that’s what she said” joke. It’s possible to say the same phrase in different ways or read meanings that were not intended, but it’s also possible to say things like “take the mickey”, “butthurt” and “pussy” without actually implying anything racist, mysogynistic or otherwise offensive. Where people insist on taking what I say in that way, I generally just walk away as there’s very little I could say that couldn’t possibly be taken as a euphemism.
By that logic, maybe this was a clever ploy to get an installation of an alien stone on top of Scafell Pike. You claim the rock you have is taken from the mountain and so they “put it back” and your readymade becomes the tallest point on the mountain.
In Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, it has been alleged that the model for Venus was a woman of notoriously negotiable affection. driving trollies by artists has a very long history.
What I have done is a small suggestive gesture that reflects on the way in which humans have imposed their cultural categories over nature.
I think I’ve finally found a use for this sort of “theory-speak”. It’s a useful marker for both driving trollies and breathless academic verbiage, both of which can be safely ignored without losing anything of value.
You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen a particular user completely derail a discussion into entire dimensions of irrelevance. If I didn’t know better, I might suspect it was intentional. And if it was intentional, I believe we have a word for that behavior on the internet.
