Without some background information, some people—especially Irish people—might be astonished to hear Kate Moss refer to herself as a "waggon."
Yes, the renowned supermodel has been known as "waggon" for many years.
On social media, Kate's well-known friend Naomi Campbell frequently calls her "waggon" or "little waggon" as a cute nickname, but she would definitely cease using it if someone explained what it really meant.

When asked how the moniker came to be, Kate said to British Vogue: "We were in Ireland and got a little tipsy at a wedding. I guess in Irish, 'waggon' is 'drunk.
In essence, then, we were all waggons. We were all performing in concerts at the time, chugging copious amounts of champagne, and calling each other waggons.
However, "waggon" does not signify anything like that, and it is not the endearing nickname she believes it to be.
In fact, it appears that Kate wasn't much liked by anyone at that Irish wedding.
Let me, your designated Irish guide, explain the term if you're not familiar with it.

In Ireland, the word "waggon" is specifically used to describe persons who are extremely rude, bothersome, or disagreeable, usually women.
It's also not one of those offensive words that are occasionally used in a fun or taunting way. Actually, it's just a savage insult.

If you're looking for a British equivalent, you could say that it's the same as calling someone a 'cow.'
Because of this, people in Ireland found it very funny when Kate proudly referred to herself as a "waggon" in an interview with British Vogue. They can't help but ask who misled to her about her appearance.
One native of Ireland remarked, "Someone's done Kate nasty there," referring to the situation.
"I want to know who called them waggons and taught them that's what it meant," added a second user. "I want to know who said it to them."
Tweeted a third person was the question, "I need to know whose mother was feeding Kate Moss lies at the residents bar during this wedding."
I believe that I know for certain whose mother it was; it was either Eve, Elijah, or Joran's mother, or it was John Hewson's mother, Ali.

Naomi Campbell, who was given the nickname "waggon" while she was in Ireland, is in the best position to provide some additional insight into this topic.
Naomi, who was formerly engaged to U2's Adam Clayton and who recently gave an interview to The Sunday Times, disclosed the fact that Bono's wife Ali Hewson was the one who nicknamed the band members.
It was then that she recalled, "Kate was the tiny waggon, Christy [Turlington] was the original waggon, and I was the black waggon."
Yeesh.
When asked why Ali referred to them as waggons, Naomi gave the following response: "Because... we're waggons, that's why. We enjoy our lives, we make each other laugh, and we are nothing more than a group of gals having a good time."
After all of that has been explained, the only question that is still open is this one.
Who is going to explain it to them?
