    We need an O'Connor to validate those terms. Are there any O'Connor's on this forum?

    Oh yeh like that isn't interchangable into any race/ethnicity/country of origin.

    For the record my mom's maiden name was McKey and my dad a Campbell. Wanna fight about it?

    sod irish, the best one i heard over and over again from my time as a nurse was, you'd admit a patient, general chitchat, ask what conditions they had, and most of the time (put on your best blackcountry accent here) 'cor i dunno luv, its me blood pressure! its doin me nut in!' so the obvious question (for anyone with any sort of medical knowlage would agree) is, is your blood pressure high or low? the amounts of times they just started at me and said 'am yam havin a laugh? i dunno!, i 'ad to cop the bus down 'ere for yaw ta ask me that, dats ur fuckin job ay it?'

    anyways, may not be as funny as the irish jokes, but still makes me chuckle to this day when i see the 'am yams down the town'
