    Irish slang kills me. On another level from the states.

    And the Irish have two other things over us: they always beat us at soccer, and have given us like half of our best players.

    I'm Irish, and I'm as confused as you are. The slang there is Scottish.

    Well you know that it won’t matter anyway once Vietnam takes over the world economy with their 1 billion people and the easing of the one child policy. Pretty soon we’ll all be speaking Vietnamese anyway.

    American geographical knowledge is full of holes, like Swedish cheese.

    Well, *actually* the word Scot, as in Scotland, Scottish and Ascot... well, 2 out of 3, is from the Latin Scoti which was first applied to Irish-Gael raiders by the Romans in the 300's. It was eventually used at times for Gaelic people in general and only later became specific to the Gaels of "Scotland" (ie. Alba) Before then the Romans referred to the island fully of funny little red-haired men who drank dark brown beer and sang beautifully, west of "England" as Scotia...

    So, tread lightly my friends. Tread lightly... or you might get Pict off and feel blue...

    Of course the English didn't arrive until the Romans had left.

    Which is why the English knowledge of geography is full of holes, like Irish lace!

    (And I'd check my dates... just cause their invasion wasn't successful, the poor Angles shoulda Pict up a few Latin terms...)
