Being norwegian from sing-song-syntax eastern norway and pretty much lacking the horrible accent most eastern norwegians have (I sound like a mid-western Canadian/American when pronouncing most words) but retaining the sing-songiness has lead alot of north americans to think that I had an irish accent (though honestly it doesn't sound anywhere near one), which caused alot of them to utter "I love your accent", because somehow it seems that northern american women rate irish and australian among the sexiest english accents imaginable.

i had to suffer the horrible torment of being thought an irishman though.

The Irish and Aussie accents are soft and lyrical, so it gives the impression of someone easygoing, happy and with a sense of humor. As opposed to a lot of the accents in the NE US, which come off as harried, irate and disrespectful. At this in this lady's opinion. :sparkles:

I've been told by GBS I can't have any pride in my Irish ancestors :(

Apparently as soon as people move to America they lose all culture and identity and anything remaining has been "stolen" from another race

But it's completely true, at least for Irish-Americans. Irish Americans have absolutely no cultural worth. On the bright side, anti-catholicism isn't really a thing anymore so you're more or less considered "normal white people" now.

There has been a noted increase in posters defending the venile Irish, so I have compiled a list of handy pejoratives to use when conversing with this misguided individuals:

Coal-Cracker - Many Irish immigrants mined coal.

Donkey - It was cheaper to hire an Irishman than a donkey in the Pennsylvania coal mining days of the 1800s.

F.B.I. - Foreign Born Irish.

Harpie - Perhaps derived from the fact the harp is also the symbol of Ireland, a green flag with a harp was displayed by a lot of Irish people.

Hibe - Short for Hibernian (of, relating to, or characteristic of Ireland or the Irish).

Mackerel Snapper - It can be applied to any Catholic, Irish or otherwise. In the past, Catholics were forbidden from eating meat on Fridays. They got around this the same way some vegetarians do, by eating fish (although technically this is not vegetarian, but "pescetarian"). Still observed in heavily-Catholic areas (they even have school/church fish-fry Fridays).

McChigger - Irish/Chinese/African American mix.

Mucker - Used in Boston because Irish immigrants could mostly only find employment helping to fill in the Back Bay which was at the time, marsh and water.

Narrow Back - The son or daughter of an Irish immigrant because they never worked as hard as those who emigrated.

You forgot Spud-friend of the family. I can say this cause it's my culture.

If you live in the Western Hemisphere and you're not descended from the native people who lived there before Europeans came you pretty much have zero ties to your cultural heritage and will have to fill the void with consumerism and/or religion, it's pretty much the main reason why non-native Americans act so soulless

Irish people ARE very different from Irish Americans. my friend traveled "home" and even though he understands gallic/whatever english dialect the irish use passably he said they spoke so quickly and so volumniously it hurt listening to them, especially indoors

italian americans and italians are a lot more similar, both are boorish gluttons and loose, generally passable women

Well the Englishman does look like an effete little queer so I guess they got that right

ENGLISH
Racial Characteristics:
Cold-blooded queers with nasty complexions and terrible teeth who once conquered half the world but still haven't figured out central heating. They warm their beers and chill their baths and boil all their food, including bread. An intensely snobbish group, but who exactly they're snubbing is an international mystery. Lately they've been getting their comeuppance world power-wise, as their shabby, antiquated, and bankrupt little back alley of a country slowly winds down like the ill-crafted clockwork playthings of which their undersized children are so fond. In fact, last year their entire government had to kiss the rear end of the fat aboriginal :byodame: who runs Uganda to retrieve a single flit hack writer from the clutches of that august nation. They all have large collections of something useless like lamp finials or toad eggs, and they would have lost both world wars if it were not for us. They like to be spanked with canes and that's just what they deserve.

Good Points:
It's relatively easy to make yourself understood with them.

Proper Forms of Address:
Limey, lime-eater, pom, poof, sister-boy.

An Anecdote Illustrating Something of the English Character:
In his unpublished memoirs, Benjamin Disraeli tells the story of a political conference with then-Prime Minister William Gladstone, who habitually conducted such private discussions while being fellated by an able-bodied seaman of the Royal Navy. At one point during their talk, the sailor suddenly looked up from Gladstone's penis and said, "Excuse me, Sir, but you've come."
"By Jove, so I have," said Gladstone, and he gave the tar a sovereign.

Anyway my ancestors had "Mc" and "O'" in their last names so that means I'm one of the millions of Americans who can pretend to be offended by this thread, and also irritate actual Irish people by insisting on talking about Ireland despite never coming within a thousand miles of that island.
