Hungary

Make sure to water the girls

In Hungary, the menfolk water the women in a pre-Christian fertility ritual called “the watering of the girls.”
Imagine were we to do that in Dublin; gangs of women in traditional costume (pyjamas) being doused with pails of hot soapy water, maybe even a little bit of Domestos for good measure. It brings a whole new meaning to the words “ethnic cleansing.”
