Scary Irish men

Sell him to an adoption agency. Make sure you vet the family who adopts him, and make sure they are right bunch of bastards. He's a wronging and needs to suffer the consequences of his actions. When he's 18, send him a birthday card and write on it "That's what you get for making fun of the way I speak" with a really sarcastic smiley face below it.

A valuable lesson will have been learned, and also you'll have followed the path of Bruce Lee of keeping what is useful and discarding what is useless.

A family friend grew up in England, Irish father English mother. Got a fair bit of anti-Irish sentiment at school and stuff. Then one night when he was trying to put his pissed father to bed he told him to "get away from me, you little English cnut".

Funnily enough he never really felt like he belonged to either identity..

Where did you get that?


Look it....it was Rag Week 98. It thought it was just a bit of craic with the lads. I was very cold that day and heating gone and went to a local cafe for some grub. Hence we are just waiting to be served. An unfortunate camera angle makes it look a little ominous I accept.



It's been taken out of context.

Shame on the father.


TBF I have not experienced any anti Irish feeling. Son goes to a Catholic school and quite a large number of the kids are from second third generation Irish stock- there is a fair sprinkling of Irish surnames among the teachers. Not a week goes by where I do not get a 'Oh my I]insert family relation[/I was from I]insert random county[/I.'- yeah that's great I am so interested.



It is very diverse where I am and I deal with people from all over the world. Being Irish really is not a big deal. As I am white and speak English I do not stick out- anyway we are no longer the bogey man.



Then again I work in a professional services industry and not a building site so I am not likely to come across the usual Paddy Whackery wise cracks.

I call shenanigans. Unless he was a member of the Royal Family, he either said "thray lad" (oop t'Nawth) or "free" (Landan annat innit fackin' caaaahhn!!)

He's in the minority. Aside from a handful like him, no-one in England actually pronounces English properly.

He did say “I was sat” a lot. So I had that.

Ah! Betcha he's originally from Yorkshire. Does he have a cat? Ask him if it's a tom.

Many English people can't pronounce 'R' properly, so if they are being dicks about how you pronounce 'Three', just smile and ask them to say "Brexit".


Or "Recession"

Wheety

Say to him "At least I'm not English!"

Or "I shagged your ma last night"

They all say “I was sat” these days. Even down south.

I liked that too until I realised that the white lad getting a kicking wasn’t actually part of the family. Nevertheless he became friends with the ra.

Well I suppose the English son was kicking him.

It starts young. I've always found that english people love to mimic us saying three. Never met an american who does that though.

Americans start blabbering on about Lucky Charms and other such nonsense.

I've never noticed anyone of any nationality pronounce tree and three differently. I've seen Americans say they love the way Irish people say 33 and I have no idea what that's supposed to mean either.

Irish accents don't pronounce the h.

It's very noticeable tbh. I cringe when I hear myself doing it.

I don't want yanks laughing at me, thinking I'm some sort of bog ape out of Punch Magazine.

I don't like the thick (tick) paddy/mick stereotype.

They definitely can't pronounce their Rs, I have an Irish name with an R at the end and not one person can say it properly. Sigh.

Another thing is that they pronounce their 'g' quite hard at the end of words.


Also, I say that the English stole our 'th'.

It’s very obvious. Although when you are here for a while you get used.
