The issues people have with the phrase is not normally about you using it, but more that it has been used to take the p*ss out of our accents in movies and TV for years. Think of the Simpsons leprechauns etc. It tends to be used in massive stereotyping which gets people's backs up.

They'd make the stories up obviously, but the fact that the American cousins believed it and were scared was great craic after showing off so much.

[@hendrixplek]

@aontas1 Many don't knoow this, but the Scottish great Highland Bagpipes derived from the Great Irish Warpipes. The only difference are the number of Drones, of wich the Irish pipes had two and the Scots added an additional one for a fatter sound. There's also the Brian Borou's pipes wich are rarely played anymore. They are similar to the aforementioned pipes, but the tuning is different and they have an extended range due to a complex key system on the chanter. The Uilleann pipes ironically derived from a Scottish type of pipes, the Pastoral Pipes. So there was this switcheroo at some point of piping traditions that most people don't know about. I play Uilleann Pipes and used to play the Highland Pipes.

Definitely travel around to less known spots and not just touristy places as you will get more of a true irish experience.

Awesome video as always! Could you do one for Puerto Rico?

[@JamesPrime1]

Thank you! If I get the chance, I could try to give Puerto Rico a shot 👍🏽

And then these same Americans say they’re 17% Irish and therefore more Irish than me cuz I ain’t white🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@roisinmalone3015]

From Ireland Tx, interesting video. The map one is hard for anyone trying to pick out a small country on a different continent. They were pretty well informed, I thought. Very good on Dublin being the captital and on the flag too. The girl who said we spoke French, she was doing great before that. Where did she get French from? Good fun Tx

[@jeffscully5043]

Because the French empire is pretty big and France is also in Europe

Listen, Mr 12% Irish, no one in Ireland says "top of the morning", no one. It's an Americanism.

[@JamesPrime1]

I love how soft Irish people are. Irish people are easily the most triggered bunch of people I have interviewed, when it comes to the internet at least.

[@bigjohn697791]

To all of our American Friends I will say this old parting words May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

When they named the flag, I cringed at the fact they thought *Sweden* was *Ireland* These are grown adults geez

Joy to watch being Irish yous Americans are so cool and nice god bless and top of the morning to ye 😅🍀

[@LuciferHanlon]

Everyone in this video seemed kind of chilled so they all passed the test. I hereby give you all permission to visit Ireland.

[@timlinator]

Irish American, dad grew up in Limerick, Ireland and I have spent a lot of time. I would say Americans are pretty uninformed about the world in general not just Ireland.

[@tonyreade2957]

Can't believe this lol do the teach geography in America?

[@BadDubII]

Do they have geography classes in America? 😂

[@lobal2]

Yes, but no one pays attention. Hell they can't even list the states.

[@kingben1216]

Yes, we learned about and the location of every country in the world in mine in addition to every US state.

[@realbossman810]

Yeah but honestly we could care less about you guys, lol.

[@Sebastianx007]

Yeah we learn in like in 7th grade then afterwards you hear nothing else about ìt!

[@meredithr9824]

Not much. I'm only fairly confident because I was a map nerd when I was a kid. But once the USSR broke up I was like fuck it.

[@evaneleven415]

Do Americans not study maps in schools serious question? My ten year old can pick out most countries on the map

[@ITB_News]

Nice video....in the interest of educating your viewers, please tell all Americans that it's "St. Patrick's Day" or "St. Paddy's Day" or "Paddy's Day".....it is NEVER "Patty's" day....

A question for any Irish people here. How do you pronounce Celtic?

[@kevinbarnbrook4728]

Pronounced keltic

[@galoglaich3281]

Black Shadow Keltic but when referng to the scottish soccer club with irish connections glasgow celtic its seltic

[@faithhunt4618]

There is only a very small area in Ireland that speaks Irish so maybe a few hundred people so English is spoken by nearly 100% of the Irish. The euro is the currency used in the Republic of Ireland sterling or the pound is used in Northern Ireland (6 of the 38 counties). The flag represents the Irish with the Green, the orange men with the orange and the white is the peace between them.
