Limerick Runners? What Are You Talking About?

Limerick is the only place in ireland where we refer to runners as tackes. In south africa, they were just starting to wear runners but it's so hot that the rubber shoes would stick to the ground and make be pure taky. So in south africa they started calling them takis. And then when he came back to limerick, runners started become a thing the people were wearing in the seventies. And he banned em from the church. And that's where the word tacky comes from.
