Talk:Kiss me, I'm Irish

Origin
I was surprised to see this has a Wiki Page; but then disappointed there’s no (real) history.

I doubt this passes the Wiki test;
 * Kissing someone who is Irish is pretty much the next best thing to kissing the stone in Blarney Castle, which is likely where this famous saying comes from. According to legend, kissing the stone will give you the power of eloquent and persuasive speech. Two different stories relate kissing the stone with luck.

[I have even less doubt now, because the link is blacklisted; (blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2015/03/06/origin-of-kiss-me-im-irish-saying/amp/)].

I suspect it was well established (worldwide) by 1980. Doubt it was common before 1960.
