Wow.. Well okay, fair enough, i'm not going to argue with that. Lennon is an Irish surname, he came from a long line of Lennons in Ireland who were musicians. They traveled around the country, playing in pubs, and some even toured the US, as far as I can remember. Johns grandfather came from Dublin, left for Liverpool and met another Dublin Woman. They had Alfred - Johns father who later had John with a Welsh woman. John's father left him when he was just a kid.
In regards to profane, I meant my comment with respect; in regards to cultral, thanks; and in regards to history moron yahoo, I really don't have a clue what you're talking about.
The fact is, I liked this video; so go find something else to get offended by.
I needn't even look to know that you are another damn American who is 'anti' everything and always trying to take offence to whatever you possible can.
"F*** Ireland" expressed your admiration for the video? You spoke with 100% irony that denoted the opposite of your meaning, did not communicate your liking. I too liked this video, and was defending great Irish spirit and culture (and lately, science), v. their historic oppression (being oppressed).
My allusions were to Jonathan Swift (early 1700s English writer living in Ireland). His novel Gullivers Travels coined the term Yahoo. And his essay "A Modest Proposal" amelioristically satirized -- to English peers --English mistreatment of the Irish.
Yes I am American, and proud of it -- as of my part Irish ancestry. Btw, so are over 40% of "damn" Americans.
The wit, nimbleness, virtuosity and athleticism of Irish dancing (as in this video) make me (though half English) "proud of all the Irish blood that's in me." Most Americans (of any ethnicity) would see this dancing as great entertainment.
Fuck yeh! Stands out, like the saying "Hell yeah!" and "Boom yeah!"; it's nothing more than street slang for something liked (cultural, you know about it I'm sure).
Don't tell me about Ireland either, because I was born there and later moved to England.
Which makes sense to why I was searching for it.
So don't rabble on about culture.
You just 'assumed' I was speaking with Irony.
If I didn't like this video, I would bother responding; simple.
Firstly; you didn't hear this in your 'American idiom' because I live in England.
And slang differs throughout the word, we don't need to update you or your country about it. Slang doesn't need to be broadcasted internationally just for the USA.
This whole conversation has been pointless; I made a decent remark in which would be noticed as decent from Ireland; and yet again, another American tries their hardest to take offence to it.
As this is an international forum, you need (in future) use more universal English, and less vulgar -- the graphic expression you used not only seemed (to those outside your slang group) to express contempt for Ireland (the only reason I replied to it as I did), but it is rude, uncivil, not a dead metaphor; most chat rooms ban such. That is all. We basically agreed. Good luck to you.
Johnathan Swift was born, educated and died in Ireland. He should be considered Irish. John Lennon's family history stems back to Ireland, he had Irish blood, and often claimed to be Irish. He was an English citizen however and should be considered English, and is.
Interesting -- I had not ever heard that John Lennon had Irish blood (had thought, just Paul McCartney, by his surname). Yet that may much explain both men's art and personalities' wit, whimsy/fancy, imaginativeness, romanticism yet satiricism, lightheartedness, humor, and yet social consciousness and fighting spirit.
Nedicuss, you say that one's nationality (e.g., Swift's and Lennon's) is more one's birthplace than one's genes. Legally, that's true. But (though one could debate "nature v. nurture" forever) both genes and environment determine one's personality. Example, a tiger raised amid lambs would still be, act like a tiger. But humans are more swayed by ambient culture -- e.g., John & Paul by the England they grew up in; but too by the lands (e.g., Germany) they visited and (USA) later lived in.
As for Jonathan Swift, though his father (JS, Sr.) too was born and raised in Ireland, Jon, Jr. after Kilkenny College lived and worked for years (for a lord) in England. And thereafter lived, as his career took him, in both Ireland and England. I agree that his nativity and long residency in Ireland gave him the sense of shared identity and sympathy that led to A Modest Proposal. But genetically Swift seems all English. His father was second cousin to England's Poet Laureate John Dryden.
(cont.) And Dryden's paternal grandfather (Swift's great-grandfather) Sir Erasmus Dryden was an English baronet and Puritan pastor. As tellingly, this gene pool seems to have had genes for uniquely high intellect, literary and clerical. Ultimately, genes (human inner drives and capacities) create cultures. And then cultures foster (or counter) inner drives. Genes and culture continually interact, influence each other. Thank you for your insightful input.
both sides of my family are from the british isles, having been born in the west country,dorset, essex, and the home counties, now their line is tracable for over 250 years, now if they had decided to go and live in africa and i had had been born there all the sun tans in the world would not make me African.. it is your genes that make you who you are not the place you are born, so john lennon would be considered half welsh, providing his mother is welsh and half Irish, only english by birth
It makes more sense that way, but as you know alot of people feel upset if their claim to a beloved or famous figure is challenged. I think we should stick to a person's nationality rather than going too far into genealogy. Wherever your influences are :)

"F--- yeh" -- only now, in context with your "Boom yeah"
(where you first spell "yeah" as in USA, not "yeh") is your
first comment's "yeh" readable (outside UK) as other than "you,"
and thus not as a rude insult to Ireland.
Despite your "simple" "I am sure"ty that I've heard those terms,
they are not in the American idiom. Your local "street slang"
has not traveled the Atlantic, been broadcast internationally (until now).
