Errr the people with the BBC accents can't say the letter R don't worry about that! They say Island instead of Ireland for a start. Then there are the Way Pawas, Woy Hodgsons and Lucy Wohhsleys of this world...Basualdo wrote:Up here its a Proddy/Fenian thing.

No one apparently noticed this until the Aitch Block shite in the early 80s.
Also southerners cannot say the letter 'R', it's "Orr" to our fish on Fridays eating co-islanders down there in the shamrock nation.
Do people from either side of the divide call each other left footers then? Someone in work said a manager was a left footer but one of the people he said it to didn't understand the term and thought he was saying he was gay.

Re: Is Geoff Peters a ****??!!
I dont know about down there but I did think that the term was pretty much universal in referring to Irish Catholics.
I remember seeing an episode of the old Aussie soap set in WW2, The Sullivans' many many years ago and in that an Irish priest who was having a friendly argument with the old Da Sullivan, who was meant to be a Prod. The priest described himself as a 'tired old left footer' so they knew that meaning down under too.
The reason for the name, which sounds a bit far fetched to be honest, was that it refers to the old Irish peasant turf cutters who used a wooden spade that only had a foot rest for pushing it down, on the left side of the blade of the spade.

Re: Is Geoff Peters a ****??!!
I think the term was used in Blackadder II to describe the Earl of Doncaster who was ball accounts a raging bumder and I think that's the only time I've heard it used in that context but I thought that most people even over here realised it meant someone of the catlick faith.deisegirl wrote:Errr the people with the BBC accents can't say the letter R don't worry about that!

Re: Is Geoff Peters a ****??!!
Yeah but I was wondering if Catlicks might use it to describe Prods. I've never used it myself, usually just say Prod. Not around my Prod sister in law mind

The Sullivans! I fell down the rabbit hole on a Sons and Daughters website a few weeks ago then ended up looking at a Sullivans site. Both of those shows seemed to go on forever on RTE. It was only several years later that I realised they were originally shown several times a week while RTE was showing one episode a week.Basualdo wrote:I dont know about down there but I did think that the term was pretty much universal in referring to Irish Catholics.
