oh thats why... my dad told me to call my mate a taig cos hes a catholic from belfast

umm....thats not very nice!!


its like a VERY derogatory term !!!

i think us (by this i mean protestants) are called huns, right chalice? or orange b*stards?

catholics can also be called fenian as a derogatory term.
the irony of the idiots who say this is that it means "irish warrior" - not derogatory at all.

The insults you mentioned are the most used Bill.
Personally, I wouldn't repeat them.
Nationalists don't really take offence to "fenian"
As Billy says, we know what it means and that's not really an insult.

&#39;Hun&#39; means a Rangers supporter in Scotland. Don&#39;t know if it&#39;s different over there. &#39;Orange Bastard&#39;, now, that does refer to Protestants.

Well the thinking of most young twats who roam the streets at night with nothing better to do here is to throw a stone anyway instead (or as well as) calling names for no reason.

Im worried about the Short Strand area again man - quite close to me(and where my father works) - last summer it became ludicrous as you well know im sure.

Drumcree is just a joke. Every single summer the same sh*t....

[crazy_billy_bats]

i actually think the "fenians" used to be some sort of mercenary type army, were&#39;nt they chalice?
Im not entirely sure im just interested in the history - my father told me once - i think they came from the Easter rising, did they ?&#33;&#33;

[chalice]

Just another symptom of the pettiness and pedantry Drumcree is.
Both sides will suffer.
I beginning to think they&#39;re all masochists over here.
The wise man takes his holidays for the whole month of July.
I expect North Belfast to have a few casualties this year.
They&#39;re nuts over there. But Short Strand? I don&#39;t envy you Bill.

[chalice]

You are quite correct Bill about fenians.
Although the term is derived from the Gaelic which means
more specifically "rebel".
They did make a resurgence at the Easter Rising and that&#39;s
where the popular definition comes from.

i have to say man, im so glad i&#39;ve found someone like yourself here.

I mean, i know increasingly there are more like-minded people coming in, but with Paisley/ David Irivine/Adams/McGuiness still around what hope does anyone have?

I know paisley aint no gangster (.....well ,leave that one open), but everyone knows he&#39;s a fool.
The rest of them gangsters are ridiculous....when they go and hopefully the younger people.....
man im losing hope even typing about it.......they recruit their young ones anyway......i&#39;ve seen the likes of 12 year olds in the UDA, i mean, WTF ?&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

it is quite funny, everyone (or the wise as u say)takes thier holidays on the july fortnight or the whole month

cool im actually learning stuff now. normally i hear stories from my mate about throwing things bricks and vigilantes. then i get stories from my dad from when he was a peace-keeper. now im getting a better understanding of the politics
