The Blarney Stone is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Cork County, Ireland. The castle was built in 1446 and now is a popular tourist site.
Kissing the Blarney Stone is an Irish custom. The legend tells that the kisser would be endowed the talent of gab: great eloquence and persuasiveness. Some people believe if you kiss someone who kissed the Blarney Stone, you would also obtain the gift of gab.
Today, a person might be accused of being “full of Blarney” if he or she talks bunch of empty flattery.
