Right

When you make mates with somebody in Dublin, yeah

There's a simple trick to their name, it changes
Okay

What you want to do is you drop a syllable and then you add an "O". That's all you do, very simple

So let's try it, say with Ramesh
Yeah, so that would be

Ramesh, alright
so we're gonna drop the Ra and we're gonna add an "O"

Mesho

So Clement, it would become Clemo

Joramay, you would become Mayo
Which would then turn into Hellmann's
