    A snarky thing but its instinct isn't it?
    To the 'kanniving masses' "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't"
    Perhaps you have been designated a local idiot or fool at some point or another?
    Have you been a mascot?

    How true is the phrase "if the shoe fits wear it?"
    Ive been regarded as foolish in the past, but I'm given slightly more eminence these days.

    Already too many clichés in this thread.

    Clichés to me are like a red rag to a bull. I avoid them like the plague.

    I got called a Dublin scumbag last weekend down in Gorey, for calling out an aulwan for dooring my missus's new car in Tesco carpark.

    Actually the husband and daughter tried to threaten and abuse me too but that's another story. Unfortunately they met their match that day.

    What? I was stereotyped as a scumbag by a family of boggers because I happen to be from Dublin.

    Is that not the point of the thread?

    And if it's not the point of the thread, could you clarify what you mean by 'stereotyping' then for the benefit of other posters.

    I've had a look at some of your other posts. Suffice to say I won't be engaging with you again.

    In England quite a few times. It was mostly their harmless parochialism, you know: where they find anyone with even a slightly different accident utterly hilarious. It started to become annoying.

    It was just stupid stuff like jokes about why I wasn't drinking enough - "are you sure you're Irish" and someone saying "oh! that's a bit Irish" in reference to something obtuse. Also other minor things like being asked to pronounce thirty-three-and-a-third by someone who would pronounce "Uncle Arthur is having a bath" as "Uncle Aurfur is 'aving a barf."

    Other than that occasionally had both Americans and French people assuming that being Irish, I must be a diehard, right wing Catholic. In reality I'm pretty much the polar opposite.
