Lol! Next time, ask [kiddingly] for an interpreter, say ERIN GO BRAGH and move on. :o)
I remember when my husband and I lived in the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). My husband went over there first to kind of get things started for me and he met and ended up knowing a large bunch of Brits...all from Yorkshire.
Well, I finally got used to the Yorkshire accent but there was this one super nice Brit, who, when plastered, could not be understood by ANY American and NOT all Brits. Ooooo, I do laugh when I remember him.
I don’t think he was Irish. They way he was waving his hands around as he talked, I’d say he was Italian.
