What is the sensation of being "offended"? What does it feel like?

I'm glad you realize your own shortcomings, even if you don't know how ignorant you sound when you typecast 300 million people.  We have states bigger than the United Kingdom.  If you thought about it, you'd know how silly that is but I get the feeling this isn't about you thinking, it's about you being passive aggressive.  Maybe that's a thing with you English, I don't know.

You`re trying to make him feel `offended` by repeatedly saying he`s English even though he`s not... right?

More of a tongue in cheek thing for my own amusement.  He says the Irish don't get offended yet I remember reading awhile back that some Irish people got offended because Irish celebrities were labeled as British or English.  

Plus he probably has no idea how idiotic it sounds to call someone from Texas or Georgia a "Yank".  I thought that calling him English might clue him in but ... probably not.  I might as well switch to the more accurate "Mick" now, I suppose.
