in fairness to her.

My deepest and most humble apologies, I do be smoking hash but I don’t really see that as relevant. ‘Wan’ is Hiberno-English (The way we Irish people speak English). It just means yer wan, as in; someone might say ‘D’you know yer wan with the eyes like limpid pools of inky blackness?’ And you’d probably say ‘I do’, because you’d probably remember someone like that.
It can also mean ‘She’s some wan. Usually the vowel sound being elongated to ‘she’s some waaaaaan’. In this context it often merely means that she’s a bit of a bibe.
So, all I was saying was that the good lady Troi is some ‘wan’ for the feelings. I was being perhaps a touch ironic, like duh, no shit.
Apologies. Peace and love to everyone. Especially yooooOOOOOUUUUUuuu.

You literally said

This is so fucking funny to me! 🤣

Ah, I now see the problem. Let me try again. In Hiberno-English, the word ‘wan’ can be used as a shorthand for ‘woman’.
