It's Latin.

The Irish phrase means, "I'll have tea, please."

I thought Mea Culpa meant "It's my fault" or "Blame me" and I did Latin in school

Have a word with the knowfukalls and see what they think.

Merriam-Webster wrote:

Mea culpa, which means "through my fault" in Latin, comes from a prayer of confession in the Catholic Church. Said by itself, it's an exclamation of apology or remorse that is used to mean "It was my fault" or "I apologize."

The knowitalls and the knowfukalls are one and the same. The knowfukalls think they know it all and the knowitalls know fck all.

Mea Culpa isn't Irish, it's Latin for "my judgemental error" and it's most commonly used in court
