pretend to be irish?
visit a few iconic pubs where some celebrity went (i.e. Bono or the Dubliners) and then think you know everything about their culture?
act super-enthusiastic about the civil war in front of someone who lost his whole family in it?
>"I'm Irish too!"
>"May I have an Irish car bomb, please?"
>A round of black and tans for the lads, please."
>"My name is Cromwell."
Not celebrating Easter perhaps?
"don't shit yourself because of your poor diet" is ample advice if you're visiting any country though
Pesach?
Don't over-enthusiastic about all things Irish. Just quietly do what all the Irish are doing.
Don't talk about the Easter Rising, The Troubles or Britain in general. If the topic comes up stay out of it. Don't wear an Ireland hat, no one wears caps here. If you want to wear something Irish get a GAA shirt. Don't ask why people aren't speaking Irish. Don't talk about the famine.
This is what all the yanks do
Be fun and buy someone a pint from time to time
Also if you make friends with a local (especially someone from the countryside), be prepared to socialise every minute of everyday. You'll wake up to an invite to someones house or a park or a pub, you'll spend your entire day from dawn to dusk hanging around with people, if you're not used to it, all the socialising will leave you exhausted but don't ditch anyone
>Don't wear an Ireland hat, no one wears caps here
You mean a flat cap?
No i mean baseball caps. Only old men and some stylish lads wear flatcaps here. You can't pull it off
Wait, are you saying don't wear flatcaps or don't wear baseball caps? Or don't wear any caps of any kind? Is it Ireland cap a flatcap or a baseball cap?
Is it okay to wear the bydlo version (pic related)?
I've had one for the last five years or so, and sometimes I worry that I'm wearing the new fedora.
Don't wear any caps
That's better than the old style one imo but it kinda comes off like you're LARPing as an Irish stereotype
Ya know, don't be a gringo ese
>You can't pull it off
Wait, you don't me. I could be a stylish lad or bloody ancient as fuck.
That looks ridiculous, enjoy getting bantered to oblivion
Nah they won't banter me. Not after I start breakdancing on the sidewalks and in front of every pub in Dublin.
Then I'll go to Limerick and breakdance there too. Me dance skills are legendary see.
>act super-enthusiastic about the civil war in front of someone who lost his whole family in it?
swedish edumaction everyone
He was obviously referring to The Troubles
>Australian understanding of context
Awful post.
Never reply to me again.
>Australian reading comprehension
I really meant the civil war. It's still strong in the collective memory, isn't it? It hasn't been all that long.
What civil war? You mean the one from 90 years ago? No one cares about that
en.wikipedia.org
Is it a loaded term?
Yeah no one really cares about that
Why is it that all Asians are expert breakdancers? Is it your lingua franca?
>flatcap
>irish stereotype
fuck off cocker, tha's are stereotype
Let's be perfectly honest here, there's hardly any difference nowadays between Brits and Irishmen.
There used to be a major religious difference, but religion is completely ded now so there's really no major differences left.
inb4 a taig bombs your car
*bombs your car*
>May I have an Irish car bomb, please?
Shit what do the Irish call those then?
nothing, they don't really drink those there
>Turn up wearing a clover t-shirt and a novelty leprechaun hat
>keep saying 'top of the morning to ye!' etc. thinking you're being cultural
>"I'M IRISH, I'M IRISH, MY SURNAME IS CROMWELL, PROUD CELTIC HERITAGE :'), THOSE DASTARDLY ENGLISH KILLING US NOBLE IRISH MEN IN THE POTATO WAR! NEVER 4GET"
Shit like this. You'll be fine.
Nobody gives a fuck how you act over here. People moan about yanks being muh heritage online but nobody actually cares in person
