Well, if you're Protestant Northern Irish, you wouldn't be. :)
Terms such as this, were almost exclusively designed to uphold a particular view of the Southern Irish Catholic.
Now if you will excuse me, my wife is in labour with our 18th child and I'm ready to get started on the 19th!
Begob! :cheeky:

I'm Northern Irish and not offended.
Wow... so am I. No. Ireland. Lots-o-Scots too. A bit of Brit, then the German kicks in from the mother's side and all hell breaks loose. I don't know whether to take over everything, or just give up in shame. I do love Italian food though. And Indian. :cheeky:
Oh, and it is 'Mr. Peat". Not Pete. Peat, as in from a peat bog. Long story and not worth the trouble, unless you like Jethro Tull. And even then, it will not make sense. It does not have to.
Oh, and by the way... It is the biggest mixup that you have ever seen, me father he was orange and me mother she was green. I am a supposed Church of England boy and married a green Catholic girl. Oh the shame of it all!

There's the running joke in Northern Ireland if you're atheist (I am), someone asks you which religion you are, you say atheist and they reply "Catholic atheist or protestant atheist?". It doesn't do to not be seen taking sides apparently.

Being a cards against humanity fan, this doesn't particularly offend me.

Tony_T, that has to be one of the greatest word/card games ever invented! Do you know that they have expansion packs for it? Even my 80 year old mother has played.
