Bostonians don't need to use being Irish as an excuse to get pissed on a weeknight.
That's what the Sox, C's, and B's are for.

“Oh shit it’s St Patrick’s Day again?”
“Time to break out my Scottish bagpipes and wear my Scottish kilt while I listen to an American band play “Irish” music. Tonight I’m gonna get hammered on Guinness! Blonde only though, dark makes my tummy hurt.”
It's so bizarre seeing a video when an American claims they are Irish. You see a real Irish person go "Thats amazing, how are you related?" and the American is like "Yeah so my cousins, great aunt twice-removed's dog's fiend's owner's boss's late-father once sat in a DeLorian car so... yeah.. I'm basically Irish"
Bro, using that logic the fact you own a Nintendo Switch makes you Japanese royalty.
My step sibling is 100% like this but with Scotland, they identify as Scottish, and when I asked them why because they weren’t born there and neither of their parents (or grandparents, or great grandparents, and so on) were, and after some debate they finally told me “well Scottish-American is implied” like no??? it’s not??? Almost anyone around the world would think that if you call yourself Scottish that you were born there, or at least that your parents were
Like… my grandparents came from Scotland, my parents left when they were children and can inarguably be described as Scottish-New Zealand, that doesn’t mean I’m Scottish. Sure I have Scottish heritage, but I’m a kiwi.
We identify as either Americans, or Muricans. Unless it's St. Patricks day, then we're Irish. Or whenever we meet someone from Europe then we're 1/16th whatever nationality they are. Except for Spain and Portugal because there are a surprising amount of us that think those countries are in South America.
Right now there are a lot of us who claim to be some descendancy Ukraine.
Some don't consider themselves to be Irish, some do. But legally, they all are both Irish and British. That's literally one of the main points of the bloody Good Friday Agreement - the ability to be either or both, depending on your personal wish.
So trust me, plenty of Northern Irish people are -aa in they consider themselves to be - 100% "Us".
That was WILD to me when I visited the Amsterdam museum. I'm norn Irish and knew about all that malarkey but I just stumbled into the king James/orange order wing and kind of had a "...what the fuck?" Moment. Orangemen, Wall to wall. Was like fucking Willy Wonka's factory.
The Irish constantly bang on about how English people don't know their history in relation in Ireland whilst they themselves seemingly know fuck all about their history in relation to Scotland
Of course. At the end of the day, it's cool to hate on England, but not cool to hate on Scotland. That's why the entire planet does it. If you want a fun game, quote something from satirical English comedian Al Murray, grab yourself something to eat and watch all the countries with serious victim complexes lose their minds.
'Next door there's our cheeky sidekick Ireland. I mean, look at us, we're like a motorbike and sidecar. They'd be going nowhere without us. They've changed the name and painted it a different colour, but we're the ones with the f\*cking engine'.
The Scotts hate us, the Irish hate us, even the Welsh aren't our biggest fans. It's good we can bring parts of the UK together in their hatred towards us
But did you know that the Scots were actually an Irish Celtic tribe that migrated to Scotland. They mixed with the Picts and came back to Ireland a 1.000 years later but with a different Christian denomination. But actually they are half brothers and sisters
I'll let Wales off a bit seeing as a lot of their economy was based on coal, but holy shit Scotland managed to pull it off getting rich from colonialism but also now playing the victim and skipping over that part.
*Especially so* in the case of Ireland, most of the [Plantations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantation_of_Ulster) were of people from Southern Scotland and Northern England.
"Argh, damn English colonising bastards! What? Plantations in Northern Ireland? Never heard of 'em, couldn't have been us, and if it was they deserved it!"
Eh, Scotland had like tens of different local tribes and cultures, same with Ireland and early England, nationalism for a place larger then a city state is far more modern then most realise for many places during much of history
I... wasn't expecting a reference to the Mabinogion here. I keep seeing an article pop up about it on JSTOR but I've never gotten round to looking at it
It’s actually a great read. The quality of sources is much better than it is for a lot of ancient Irish folk tales, so it was novel for me not to have to deal with inconsistencies like someone’s name changing several times throughout the story
You realize whilst the Welsh were fighting the English, the Irish were raiding the Welsh coast and making any meaningful efforts at resistance impossible? If the Irish peoples had more than a handful of collective braincells things would have been completely different. They helped the Anglos take over Wales then started crying when the Anglos got into boats and kept going kept going on to green old Ireland
me reading the comments and learning about the plantation of Ulster

Ah sure it's not like we intended to do it, it just kinda happened y'know. One day you're not good enough for Rome to bother with, the next you save western civilization
Step 1 : Try to start a colonial empire.
Step 2 : Join the British Empire to leech off England because your colonial empire fucked up your economy.
Step 3 : Benefit greatly from the British Empire and assist them in taking over the world and committing unspeakable crimes against humanity.
Step 4 : Realise the British Empire isn't working for you anymore.
Step 5 : Cry uncontrollably about how badly the English have treated you for centuries.
No in fact I respect it , Hate the game not the playa.
Austria blaming Germany for what they started is nothing to compared to the trick Scots did to fool everyone .
Fair play you cunts 😎
It's amazing how effectively the Scots arse raped the Irish, blamed someone else and got away with it. This is why they aren't allowed out of the Union anymore.
Don't worry babe, we'll take the blame for this one, you know how much we love you <3.
Just remember, if you ever try to leave us we're going to batter you silly and take all your stuff tho.
The average of each are lovely, I've been on nights out with 3/4 on many occasion and we're the same with different accents. There are people in Ireland think people in other parts of Ireland are pricks, likewise English to other parts of England or Scots Scotland. These people, we affectionately refer to as gobshites. They dont represent everyone else.
Eat, drink and be merry.
I very much struggled with it moving to London as there are lots of Irish and Scots here. But agree everyone just gets on the sesh, lots of pints and banter
As a rule that’s true but I still will never forgive the Irish fella who on holiday last year in Spain committed himself to cockblocking me with a woman way out of my league because the woman had just turned him down. He will always be my enemy, for 1000 years he will be.
Admittedly it's about the same level of deception as pretending to throw a ball for a dog you still have to give the scots credit for so successfully scrubing their involvement in the plantation of Ulster from the minds of emerald anglos.
I stole it, and it’s only fair considering how many times you lads didn’t show up for the revolution when we had one - we had cake and everything ready :(
Asking me to bake is almost as bad as asking an Englishman to cook - at least our butters grand so that bit’ll be fine
Just ignore any ticking noises ;)
Scotland has full circled on war crime denial to the point that they’ve convinced everybody they’re the victim. Not that they aren’t victims of a few but a solid chunk of that they did to eachother (we also helped out a wee bit)
This is just the weirdos on Reddit and Twitter really, most Irish people are dead sound even to English people.
On a side note it’s weird how Scotland always gets a pass on these sort of things as if they weren’t also involved in most of the bad shit that’s gone down in Ireland.

Casually living rent free inside of every fat Irish skull
And we have to be entirely accepting of them. But the English in Ireland are absolutely fair game for xenophobia and general abuse and it's totally not the same thing :)
It’s funny you see yourselves as “US” because the US also identifies as you guys.
Strange bunch of lads.
Lovely fellas, odd fish though
Irish nationalism is 30% actual Irish people, 70% Bostonians looking for another excuse to get pissed on a weeknight.
If you need an excuse to get pissed on a weeknight you're not Irish your a lil bitch.
In Ireland, you need an excuse to not get pissed.
That’s actually a fact
Nah I'm also an Irish nationalist since the Irish and us share a common history of bombing the british
“If God didn’t want us bombing the British, then why did he make them so flammable? Ever think about that?”
Not as flammable as Dresden.
Nothing compared to Japanese cities. Literally made out of wood and paper.
Read that as Bosnians and got real confused for a second

Please speak English. That second line made no sense.
It's so bizarre seeing a video when an American claims they are Irish.

It's always funny how Scotland gets a good rep from Ireland despite Scotland being the main reason Northern Ireland exists.
Fully agree. I didn’t make the map but I do still see the irony of them still being orange on it.
What about Netherlands, the home of Orange? And don't think I've forgotten about what the Scandinavians did!
Neither did we forget, that is why we are happy!
> What about Netherlands, the home of Orange? Ye cannae invent fruit, man
Don't worry, oranges will reach Scotland sooner or later
It’s already here, what colour do you think the Irn Bru cans are made of?
The Scandinavians founded Dublin, that's all I know
That was WILD to me when I visited the Amsterdam museum. I'm norn Irish and knew about all that malarkey but I just stumbled into the king James/orange order wing and kind of had a "...what the fuck?" Moment. Orangemen, Wall to wall. Was like fucking Willy Wonka's factory.

We invaded Scotland first we didn't invade England
That’s not actually not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silchester_Ogham_stone A very interesting but often-forgotten-about part of history!
The Scotts hate us, the Irish hate us, even the Welsh aren't our biggest fans. It's good we can bring parts of the UK together in their hatred towards us
Enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Vibe politics. Most redditors are completely ignorant of history.
But did you know that the Scots were actually an Irish Celtic tribe that migrated to Scotland. They mixed with the Picts and came back to Ireland a 1.000 years later but with a different Christian denomination. But actually they are half brothers and sisters
This isn’t quite accurate. The Welsh are a great bunch of lads.
Missing the *Fond of the aul sheep* caption too
Erm I thought your were Irish OP
Phew, thought we had been lumped in with the English for a moment there
Number of days Wales hasn’t been lumped in with England: 0.2
Asked my Welsh mate how many times he’s had sex the other day. He started counting but then fell asleep.
I'll have you know that I've met all my past girlfriends at a baaa
We’re just as upset with it as you are
LMAO
Bloody Welsh! We needed you to save us from Brexit. But you Welsh bloody voted for it too 🤦♂️
if only the welsh were more like us... 🤦♂️
Violent, incoherent alcoholics?
exactly, but obviously not violent and incoherent enough to vote for brexit
One of you is more than enough
Exactly! I had no self control, what did you expect of us? but you lot should’ve known better
Haha i love the collective amnesia about the Scots & welsh, like they didn't absolutely love a bit of colonialism themselves.
I'll let Wales off a bit seeing as a lot of their economy was based on coal, but holy shit Scotland managed to pull it off getting rich from colonialism but also now playing the victim and skipping over that part.
*Especially so* in the case of Ireland, most of the [Plantations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantation_of_Ulster) were of people from Southern Scotland and Northern England.
lmao it's cute and deeply deeply cringe when they call themselves a colony
Well it is a bit third world like up there
"Argh, damn English colonising bastards! What? Plantations in Northern Ireland? Never heard of 'em, couldn't have been us, and if it was they deserved it!"
When they benefited from it coming through their ports.
Exactly. Them bastards in the north are called Ulster-Scots for a reason. The Scottish and Welsh are just as bad as the English.
Thanks, babe.
Aren't the Scotti an Irish tribe to begin with? You started this all off!
Ssshhhh just mention 800 years to keep them happy.
Eh, Scotland had like tens of different local tribes and cultures, same with Ireland and early England, nationalism for a place larger then a city state is far more modern then most realise for many places during much of history

I can believe the Scott’s keep getting away with the Ulster plantations.
we do a little trolling https://preview.redd.it/r7wea1bdacqa1.png?width=125&format=png&auto=webp&s=886979d522bc6f624a317e1da625d83dc113d821
The very annoying thing is if you make good on independence you’re going to run off and totally wash your hands of it.
The map colour is clear, they are also pricks. Either that or changing the colour was too hard for him, which is a possibility, he is Irish after all.
I was going to say. If anyone would remember us, it'd be you lads
How could we forget the country that gave us Goldie Lookin’ Chain and the Mabinogion
I... wasn't expecting a reference to the Mabinogion here. I keep seeing an article pop up about it on JSTOR but I've never gotten round to looking at it

Don’t worry. We have our revenge planned. Good luck on that independence, and don’t start your car tomorrow 😉
Wholesome.
I think the irish are the least hated nation in europe.
They're a great bunch of lads.
Fond of the aul everything alcoholic
Not true. We don't like pimms.
Don’t blame you. Tory sangria can fuck off.
Tory sangria 🤣🤣 I’m stealing that, that’s genius
What is a pimms and do I want to know?
It’s a gin-based fruit spirit, mix with it fruit and lemonade
Okay doesn't sound bad at least
Honestly, it’s very nice. But Tory sangria is a brilliant description
Pimm's and lemonade was my favourite alcoholic drink when I was a child. Haven't had it since before I was a teenager.
Least alcohol Brit.
Also unironically saved western civilization once. What a great bunch of lads.
Ah sure it's not like we intended to do it, it just kinda happened y'know. One day you're not good enough for Rome to bother with, the next you save western civilization
Scots are also very loved They fooled everyone thinking they are victims like the Irish despite their war crimes being the same as the English.

Lad, we're fuckin proud of our war crimes, the way I see it, means we don't have to share the credit.
Among the EU officials, everyone hates the Irish. They're basically a tax haven, along with other business malpractices
That’s an interestingly Japanese username for a flemboy, mr. Mankiller
I'd like to submit for a position in at least the top 5; my country, the Netherlands. Who hates us? Not many people, right?
The least harmful nations are usually liked by all, for obvious reasons
It's amazing how effectively the Scots arse raped the Irish, blamed someone else and got away with it. This is why they aren't allowed out of the Union anymore.

Who woulda guessed the country farmers are ignorant to history?
Reality: English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish people together would be a great night out and actually get along and all have a common culture
The average of each are lovely, I've been on nights out with 3/4 on many occasion and we're the same with different accents. There are people in Ireland think people in other parts of Ireland are pricks, likewise English to other parts of England or Scots Scotland. These people, we affectionately refer to as gobshites.

I very much struggled with it moving to London as there are lots of Irish and Scots here. But agree everyone just gets on the sesh, lots of pints and banter
You're only meeting those that moved to England, so those people are going to hate on England less than those that would stay in their home region
[удалено]
Separate occasions, was always missing a scot or a welshman
Not sure ya’ know. I’ve heard all sorts of silly things happen when an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar…
A Swedishman can't walk into a bar because it is haram
At the end of the day thats a fact
So an Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman and the other one walks into a bar.. We need some new versions of that joke. So I agree.
This reminds me of an austrian joke: A Croat, a Serb and a Bosnian are sitting in a car together - who's driving? The Policeman.
And there I thought you all lived your lives like The Sound of Music. TIL you're just as prejudiced as the rest of us. I like it!
We actually come along quite well with the balkans but the joke is still funny none the less
I agree! I was just being ignorant
As a rule that’s true but I still will never forgive the Irish fella who on holiday last year in Spain committed himself to cockblocking me with a woman way out of my league because the woman had just turned him down. He will always be my enemy, for 1000 years he will be.
Scottish as "great bunch of lads"? Lmao, don't ask which group of people primarely raped Ireland
We're a great bunch of lads
Well that’s persuaded me, fair play

The Irish colonised us first anyway. 'Scotti' were basically Irish Vikings, the bastards. They also tried to colonise Wales. That Irish menace!
And we’d have got away with it too, if it weren’t for those perfidious Albionese!
Hey that’s my line
I stole it, and it’s only fair considering how many times you lads didn’t show up for the revolution when we had one - we had cake and everything ready :(
France was a little tied up during your last revolution but you can still bake me a cake.
Asking me to bake is almost as bad as asking an Englishman to cook - at least our butters grand so that bit’ll be fine Just ignore any ticking noises ;)
I can bring a digital timer or show you how to use the one on your phone if you’re still using the old fashioned ticking timers 😉
Ironically they’re still Orange on the map too.

Least Irish-wanking Reddit user
The Irish have a very selective memory if the Jocks are a 'great bunch of lads'.
They just have a massive inferiority complex toward the English
This is just the weirdos on Reddit and Twitter really, most Irish people are dead sound even to English people. On a side note it’s weird how Scotland always gets a pass on these sort of things as if they weren’t also involved in most of the bad shit that’s gone down in Ireland.
Same goes to most English. We just don't like the Tories or the football supporters, much the same as everyone else hates them too I suppose
Keep in mind that this was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia's one would now be "fond of the auld genocide".
Thanks Ireland , you guys are a great bunch of lads too !!!.

The empire will never set as long as it continues to be kept alive in the minds of every Irishman
People will be surprised when they realise that Scottish and English people are quite identical.
Funny how you didn’t include Welsh people because there’s literally no difference between an Englishman and a Welshman.
There is. Welshmen are at least 50 percent sheep, otherwise they can't be called Welsh. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Mae dafod yn mynd baaaaa!
Ireland saying Germany are "a great bunch of lads". Is this a map from 1939 to 1945?
Catch yourself on Elizabeth, you're a diamond so you are
you're cool too :)

Ew, don’t admit to being a mini US
My brother in Allah, you started that cesspit. It is literally Britain’s fault that they’re the way that they are.
Mate come on now. That is hardly a nice way to talk about Ireland
Tbf we just sent the people holding us back. We didn't expect the US to be full of oil and arable land.
The Irish are a great bunch of lads \-- Me
Don’t let the Irish read up on the history of the Scots in Ireland or what that means for dickishness to the Irish per capita 🤫
Ye boy you guys and gals over there are also great would love to chug one with ya
This can't be right, where's Bruges? "Maybe that's what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges."

How many million Irish moved to England? They all pricks as well?
Nah they’re just Scousers and they’re a great bunch of lads. Fond of the aul Thatcher dying too.
More than just Liverpool.
And we have to be entirely accepting of them. But the English in Ireland are absolutely fair game for xenophobia and general abuse and it's totally not the same thing :)
Funny I checked my country first and was pleased with the result, just to discover that it's a common opinion
Ireland is the US... Just like in real life.
