Why do women cover their faces when they laugh?

"The hand is also used to conceal the mouth when it will betray emotions that may be undesirable. Thus we put our hands over impolite giggles and smirks, and we may do this to hold back from telling the truth."

Why do young Irish dancers wear those f**king wigs?

"The reason why dancers curl their hair or wear a ringlet wig is because traditionally in Ireland girls had nicely curled ringlets, though nowadays, wearing ringlet wigs is going out of style in some feisanna in favor of letting girls and women having their natural hair."

why do women go to the toilets in pairs?

difficult to establish definitive on this, but there's lots of mention of 'nicer facilities for girls', 'to talk about the evening / men', and 'mutual presentation approval'.
