Bio English.
Is basically like.
"Yay, we're Celts."
"... Oh wait.
"HI VIKINGS."
".. oh, sup Normans."
"Latin, huh?"
"... Sweet, India."
"I will admit that some American accents I can distinguish mainly from the instinctive horror they induce."
...you're actually pretty justified in not knowing [about the Irish/Ireland].
Most British people don't know, and 90% of THOSE don't care. 50% of those who do know probably
don't care. It's like being followed by a tenacious wasp.
Sure, you might get stung every now and again but it's so busy buzzing around and slamming into
lamps that you're pretty fine just ignoring the thing.
Whereas America to England is like a badger in the garden.
SOMEONE is going to have to go out there and shove it back into the woods.
But it's not going to be you. And whoever it is is going to need gloves and a trowel.
"... Mum, it just knocked over our dustbins and made us go to war."
"Can't we call someone to get rid of it already."
"Oh sweetie, don't worry. It'll probably get bored and leave soon."
"I'm English, alright? We don't use guns. We use our foreheads." - Bones S4E24
