blarney
\blar"ney\ (bl[aum]r"n[y^]), n. [Blarney, a village and
castle near Cork in Ireland.]
Smooth, wheedling talk; flattery. [Colloq.]
[1913 Webster]
Blarney stone, a stone in Blarney castle, Ireland (built in
1446), said to make those who kiss it proficient in the
use of blarney.
Note: The origin of the stone is uncertain. In order to kiss
the Blarney stone, which is located in the side of the
castle, one must be held upside-down by the feet and
lowered into the proper position from an opening in an
overhang in the parapet. It is an experience eschewed
by some tourists.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
