Apologies. This might not be the perfect community for the post.
So I'm late to the party here, but this is a very early version of a diagram I'm putting together that corrects a couple of issues with the diagram OP posted.
As I said: very early and also very incomplete, but what's there is accurate.
I’m into it! I can’t wait to see where this goes.
I just call em all cunts, except for the irish those cunts are cool.
Lol irish shit cunts
As a Englishman, I can't have you talking down on the Scots. They're the only ones left which are still decent
So you're saying they're decent cunts?
Now add the EU.
Now if someone can tell me what exactly "Britain" is? People say it all the time, like this is the largest statue of a vulva in Britain. Just shorthand for Great Britain, or is it something else?
It's like saying America to mean the United States. Technically America includes Canada and excludes Hawaii. But when people say America they actually mean US + Alaska and Hawaii but not Canada.
Most people not from the UK will use "Britain" as an alternative word for "England".
Just that - shorthand for Great Britain. Easier to use when you don't think it's so great, like if you live in the Republic of Ireland!
Republic of Ireland
Which on the diagram is coterminous with “Ireland (state)”?
Exactly - that's it's proper name and how it's distinguished from Northern Ireland since they share the land mass of Ireland
You did a great job on this though, OP. It's difficult to explain to non-nationals with no idea of the history, so this is very helpful
The Scots wouldn't agree with this. I've spent a lot of time there.
The Shetlands, Orkneys, Harris and the rest of the Hebrides aren't even mentioned. Haha
The North shall rise again
Well, Scots would often say "we're not British but we are Scottish" since British usually means "from the UK" but I don't think any of them would deny that most of Scotland is in Great Britain.
British Isles is not the term the Irish use. Atlantic Archipelago or just the isles is proffered.
Atlantic Archipelago
this is totally the Bahamas. Or Palm Beach condos.
Well they're just as much in the Atlantic as us so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they call the state ROI (republic of ireland) to distinguish between the island
The words that ultimately gave us “Britain” have been in use for about 2,000 years, give or take a century or two. Politically and culturally a tremendous lot has happened in the meantime. Which is probably why we’re left with this almost indecipherable mine field.
I just stay 'fuck it' and call them all Celtoi.
That’s a nice word. I like to use Pritani but might mix it up a bit from now on.
And it doesn’t even include Bretagne.
Tell me about it. Immigrants? From Britain? Taking over (culturally) a foreign land. You couldn’t make it up. I once witnessed some drunk Bretons speaking to some drunk Welsh in their respective languages… and “kind of” understanding each other.
