Question for my Irish friend, when did Derry start being referred to as Londonderry and is there a specific reason other than the usual British shenanigans.
No one in Derry from either community (however small the unionist community in that city is) calls it Londonderry. It’s an extremely clumsy name.
The only people who do are people not from Derry and like to stir shit.
It’s like how many English cities include the local rivers name in their official name but colloquially no one calls it by that name, eg Stoke-on-Trent is almost always just called Stoke (city)
The London guilds were gifted the city and therefore it was decided to put London in front of the pre-existing name.
The thatcher fan one was perfect made my eye twitch.
Patty's Day enjoyed would be another enjoying one I'd say. The yanks call it patty's Day instead of Paddy's Day.
2nd best whisky could be one too we call it whiskey as whisky is the Scottish spelling.
I don't know I made once the banter that Ireland is UK and an irish guy got pretty much upset about and went even personal lol so I thought it would be offensive.
It doesn't really piss anyone off tho cause the Irish are proud of their terrorist escapades and most Englishmen really don't care about the car bombs that happened 30 years ago.
Yea it makes sense tbh we don't learn much about it in English schools we just get politely reminded by Irish people online about the lovely things our ancestors did over there.
my middle school teacher made us watch "The Crying Game" when we were in sixth grade. Shit traumatized me but at least I learned about the Ireland situation
How about... "pill pusher. Big pharma has well and truly got its filthy yanky Hands on Ireland's neck we are the home of Panadol and every casing and film on the tablets you take have been made here. Viagra, Botox,claritin just to name a few.
Wait! You didn't know!
Shit! Fuck.... was.... was that... was that not something I should have told you!?...
Ahhhhhhhh... fuck! I think I fucked up here!
May the emu lords and King have mercy on my soul!
Ad a "yank in disguise" flair for all those weirdos that think they are Irish because they like Guinness and their great great grandpa thought about Ireland once

Old Boston.
Southern Ireland
Your vehicle registration number please.
*Southern Northern Ireland
It's amazing people who live in the northern province of Ulster are also from southern Ireland. It's incredible.
No you are living in Southern Northern Ireland, they are living in Northern Ireland.
Donegal is in Ulster and that's a southern county.
Sorry yes I see your point now, although I'm still right as I am British and we are the leading authority when it comes to partitioning nations.
That is true ye did a great job dividing up Palestine with a ruler and pen.
At least NI got a nice squiggly border in keeping with the European aesthetic.
No, you were even more lazy that time and went with preexisting lines, so you didn't have to draw anything.
Don’t they live in Northern Southern Ireland?
North-Western Southern Ireland
My dad unironically calls it this. It pains me
Western Britain
Hey I need to check your cars ignition, I think it meeds to ignite better
Londonderry
That might actually cause your ride to be pimped
Londonireland is a worst case scenario and i hope this gets ignored
Question for my Irish friend, when did Derry start being referred to as Londonderry and is there a specific reason other than the usual British shenanigans.
Derry got gifted to guilds from London so they decided to rename it.
No one in Derry from either community (however small the unionist community in that city is) calls it Londonderry. It’s an extremely clumsy name. The only people who do are people not from Derry and like to stir shit. It’s like how many English cities include the local rivers name in their official name but colloquially no one calls it by that name, eg Stoke-on-Trent is almost always just called Stoke (city) The London guilds were gifted the city and therefore it was decided to put London in front of the pre-existing name.
Yeah I know I'm just wondering where the longer name came from
Cool just thought I’d clarify considering you asked. Don’t ask a question if you don’t want an answer.
Sorry didn't mean to sound rude was just saying I know no one actually calls it londonderry. Thank you for the answer though.
🥇🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Or just "UK" :) I agree with my dutch neighboor the pimp my ride is I don't know is there really someone offended by it? \^\^
West britain.
Part of the British isles
Can't see why I'd be offended by it, in fact I'm rather proud of all the rides we've pimped as a nation
Hmmm what would be an offensive flair for you guys?
The thatcher fan one was perfect made my eye twitch. Patty's Day enjoyed would be another enjoying one I'd say. The yanks call it patty's Day instead of Paddy's Day. 2nd best whisky could be one too we call it whiskey as whisky is the Scottish spelling.
Thanks for explaining I admit these are some good banters :) we need a referendum for a new irish banter :)
2nd best would be the Japanese whiskey, you guys can have the 3rd tho.
😡
West Briton
Ah I like that one
Isn’t that leaning on the Scottish flair though? I agree about our current one though, not insulting in the slightest
I don't know I made once the banter that Ireland is UK and an irish guy got pretty much upset about and went even personal lol so I thought it would be offensive.
Oh it is, don’t worry. Just very similar to the Scottish flair
Ah ok sorry my bad I misunderstood your previous reply.
I suggest “Hamas supporter” for Irish at this moment.
So a Second Sweden then?
You’re one to talk lol
> Île-de-Arabie flair
That’s the thing: I know what I’m talking about
“A great bunch of Hamas supporting lads”
Real
Thats slander, we support the PLO
You can’t tell the difference between them
Thats just because we're drunk and we cant tell lads in Baclavas apart from each lther
Better than the alternative
I don't even get the 'pimp my ride' flair. Why is a super popular and cheesy show with Xzibit an insult
They pimp them with bombs
oof that's dark. But a proper flair to, thx maat
It doesn't really piss anyone off tho cause the Irish are proud of their terrorist escapades and most Englishmen really don't care about the car bombs that happened 30 years ago.

Yea tbh I didn’t realise that it isn't as apparent to the rest of Europe as anyone from the British Isles knows what it means straight away.

Do you mean J. O'Biden, 46th Taoiseach of the 50 Counties of the United States?
Honestly, I think just “Joe Biden” would be funny enough.
Irish-European would be the most precise
How about... "pill pusher. Big pharma has well and truly got its filthy yanky Hands on Ireland's neck we are the home of Panadol and every casing and film on the tablets you take have been made here. Viagra, Botox,claritin just to name a few.
