    I have began to notice this term has started to creep into Irish peoples conversation and I have seen it on posts here on boards, what a load of crap. There was a time when we Irish used to come up with our own slang now its every bit of crap american slang. Are we Irish losing our identity will we soon only be recognisable as Europeans or some other sh!te?

    Should we say "Mea culpa"?

    I prefer "my bad".

    If Irish people are losing their identity it's not because they'e using American slang words it's because we do nothing to keep our identity alive. For instance,Gaeilge. A lot of Irish people can't speak Irish, except for a few words. I regard that as losing our identity

    To lose something you have to have had it in the first place.

    If you're thought it when you were a child like English then it can be considered losing it, can't it? But my point was really, that the lack of effort put into learning Irish is more about losing it as a langauge and having it be erased from existence. 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.
