Imagine coming into a strangers’ mentions, offering your unsolicited grade of their stupid joke, and then telling that person to “touch grass”

Irish people do not use this turn of phrase... We touch wood but no one touches grass as far I know. Galway person here btw.

To my ear it’s an internet-ism, so not dispositive (“we don’t say ‘unalive’ in Peoria”)

Maybe? I've been online since 28.8k modems, I really can't recall seing it in use with Irish netizens among many Americanisms. Weirdly I live in an Irish-speaking area with a lot of Boston connections, and I hear people use "high school", "sidewalk" etc in English but never heard "touch grass".

My limited experience after touching grass is the person who told me to is still obnoxious even if it's a really nice grass.

I don’t remember you putting so many rando weirdos on blast on Twitter but I’m into it.

Maybe some people can have four day weekends or be on social media, but not both simultaneously.
