Irish and Gaelic Irish? Plus other quesitons!

I just want to point out that the word "Erse" is a very antiquated word and, in some circumstances, can be a derogatory term for Irish-speakers or the Irish as a whole.

er... that's news to me...

Well, I'm not offended by it! Feel free to refer to me as an Erse at any time! I am reclaiming the word for us. Next to start on teague, paddy, mick, bogside culchee...

My friends and i call each other 'Mick' all the time! Hahaha! But I like the idea of "taking back" the word Erse. I might have to use that....

I think you've confused "Erse" with a similarly spelt and sounding word that begins with the letter "A"...

But you are right about my not being connected to that... er, "community". My acts of hooliganism are confined to breaking-- no, make that shattering-- speed limits as I avoid all football crowds. Now if Ireland ever makes it to the World Cup...
