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

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.

But... yank is a generic term for an american. People from texas and georgia are still americans aren`t they?

Also, WTF is a `mick`?

It's a term for people from the Northeast United States.  New York Yankees, for instance.  Call a person from elsewhere that and they'll think you're an idiot.

Also, literally the first thing that comes up on google:

 

Mick

noun: Mick; plural noun: Micks

an Irishman.
