Something that is part of our identity because it is our language.

Shite from shit from the preliterate Germanic tribes at the time of the Roman Empire. The word may be further traced to Proto-Germanic *skit-, and ultimately to Proto-Indo-European *skheid-. The word has several cognates in modern Germanic languages, such as German Scheisse, Dutch schijt, Swedish skit, Icelandic skítur, Norwegian skitt etc

How do you like them European shit apples......

I take your point about losing our knowledge of it as a language we were taught at school.

To make it relevant to our current identity, how about introducing more Irish phrases into the way we speak English?

My bad could be "Mo locht!" or something like that - which has an almost Ginsbergian howl-like quality to it.
