There is, of course, the remote possibility that you could be from County Cork— thus making you a Bawlamoron twice over!"Tip of the South,
toe of the North,
a little of either,
and neither of both."

i love that, being from baltimore
It's a day for yellow underwear. Not the sunny kind of yellow, or yellow that has been salted with any sort of pep.
Just, the kind of dolefully flat yellow your mind would conjure if someone was describing a kitchen where the decorator had decided they wanted yellow, but not really. Cop out yellow. The kind where you couldn't say it wasn't yellow but you couldn't really say it was, either.
That color underwear. The color that says, "I'm in shock at my verticality."
Yellow as pale as indecision. It's been poured out all over the place.
Could we call that mellow yellow? Regretfully (and, unfortunately), from your description it sounds so objectionably bland as to be provocative.
