| Rafie said: I see. Thank you for the explanation. Again, I was obviously quite ignorant on this and wanted to get some insight. Now I have it. I don't know anything about the stereotypes. I'm not from Europe. :) Thanks again for the quick lesson. |
I personally felt my answer wasn't very good. Let's see, surname wise, there are a lot more Scottish people with a 'Mc' surname than Ireland, but the most common names in Scotland is still Smith and Brown (not Jones, they are probably English). Ireland's common surnames are Murphy or "O' " something.
An Irish person may be a fan of their own sports so Hurling or Gaelic Football. Scotland has it's own Highland Games but if meeting a Scottish person i doubt they will be tossing a caber that's pushin on the stereotype....
... don't worry about making a mistake if you accentidentily call a Scotish person Irish or visa versa, as long as you don't call them English. :P
Hmm, pie.
