That's all very interesting (minus the Yank = Septic Tank
). Now how many of those terms are derogatory?
Like if we refer to an Irishman as a Mick, it's not takien too kindly but a Paddy is more exceptable. As I'm sure I stated before, I was raised thinking it was "The Bloody Irish!" Didn't go well with my Irish pals! We wont even start on what we refer to our Italian friends/neighbors as.
