Ok Irish dudes, what's your Surname?

They say that on St. Patrick's Day there are only two kinds of people...the Irish and those who wish they were Irish. Sadly, I am not (I am a Stinson.) Does your name include Mc, Fitz, or an O'?

Oppressors language is a phrase only ever used by people who have never been to Ireland and are about as Irish as a bagel

German mostly. A little bit of Irish on my mothers side. Enough to make my beard red-ish.

My mother's original family name was O'Buggey. My great-grandfather changed it when he left Ireland to the US after killing a protestant. So they say. He avoided the coal mines of western PA by boxing, and won the title in his class (forget what it was). I remember him in the '60s as a one-eyed punch-drunk octogenarian.

Rossi but I have Irish on my mothers side along with Scottish (I always like to think of it as Europe had a gangbang and I came out of it).
