    Heard a Polish waitress today say "would you like more spuds?" I know Spuds isn't just an Irish word, but it just sounded wrong in a Polish accent.

    Racist :p

    Waitresses shouldn't be using food slang regardless of the accent.

    Well if they can gain appreciation for our spuds, and we can gain appreciation for their delicious soups then I think this immigration business has worked out well.

    I love it when I hear someone with a foreign accent say something very Irish. Something cute about it. :)

    Not nearly as bad as Irish people murdering French words, especially in the Dáil.

    baguette - baggot
    avant garde - ah vant gardaí
    croissant - crohs ant
