The reading order doesn't matter, if a message is x-posted to a group
included in your filter, it will be filtered.

Yes, it will be filtered. But the human will be confused if reading in 
reverse order.

It's an Irish word to describe in a friendly way A Fool.

Why not? It wouldn't harm your conversational skills, which are already
nonexistent.

Hey Kermit,

This is not the way to behave in public. You were photographed in your 
bathroom in this image:

They also have some more pictures of having affairs with Miss Piggy. I 
can post them here if you want real proof.

As I like to find fun things in my dotage :-) 

Mr Man-wai Chang seems to be unaware of the Irish English as spoken by
Irish.

Probably in the same way that I think people from China just speak Chinese
 :-/

Info:

Irish Gaelic is the native language of Ireland, but because of history,
they also speak good Anglo English, but with their own unique and
wonderful colloquialisms.  :-)

Nb: It's so easy these days... The Google AI will tell you what Eejits
means.

Nb2: For fun I used the AI to tell me what a "toylet" is... 
How urinatingly interesting...

Walking past one of those temporary toilet booth structures (not sure if 
they have an official name) and this one had "Eau de toilette" where the 
company's name would normally be.

Just use your wisdom!!! No tools
nor curses nor spells needed.
