    Irish people using any Americanisms should be forced to clean out sewers and septic tanks with their bare hands. And lick them clean afterwards

    It’s clearly used in the context of domestic matters. A non national in Ireland clearly means a person who is not a national of Ireland. Likewise ,if the word was used in say Spain, it would then mean a person who is not a Spanish National

    It’s a lazy and somewhat inaccurate way to say foreigner ,I guess
    Because foreigner has become a racist word.

    "Ireland Inc." - can't stand that expression and when people use it they think they are intelligent.

    A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.

    Words that come under that umbrella have my head melted at times.

    I don't blame the children of that word, but we need to cut the head off that snake.

    POC(standing for people/person of colour and excluding all people considered "white") is a horrible divisive word that seem to set the stage for an us vs them type scenario instead of everyone just being people.

    deeply politically loaded term, hate it

    This. "Awesome", "dude", and also that annoying voice inflection thing that people seemed to have picked up from tv shows like Friends.

    Just stop. Please. For the sake of humanity.
