This Naomi Campbell anecdote in the Sunday Times is especially funny to Irish people

Oh hunny, noooo.

THERE’S A GREAT profile of Naomi Campbell in today’s Sunday Times.

Today is World AIDS Day and let's not forget we still have a lot of work to do #worldaidsday #findacure @victoriabeckham @unaidsglobal iamnaomicampbell iamnaomicampbell

In it, Naomi talks about life after rehab, her new publishing venture, and the supermodel life.

But it was this excerpt that left most Irish people giggling to themselves

Naomi Campbell - just hanging out, a wagon with her wagons. It's a thing. https://t.co/gle2dmpJRm pic.twitter.com/McEVonK5oW

We all know that a wagon is in Ireland:

Irish people found it quite amusing

Whoops!

Hmm, someone should tell Naomi Campbell that being called a wagon in Ireland doesn't mean you "enjoy life". #itsnotacompliment #SundayTimes

Little does she know…

Ali Hewson is a formidable woman but I'm not sure she correctly explained 'wagon' to Naomi and Kate. https://t.co/oPMOKa2aWs

It seems like the wagons is VERY MUCH a thing, with Naomi using the hashtag #wagonforlife on this sweet Instagram picture of Kate Moss and herself

Hewson, you absolute messer.
