Same, very Northern Irish when back or on the phone to family, more muted when around my SW English peers, more for ease of being understood!

🔺 I remember my first day at school in England and being forced to stand up in front of my new group of 14-15 year old classmates, and told to introduce myself, which I did. The teacher then asked if anyone had any questions. One girl yelled out “SIIIIR, WHAT DID SHE EVEN SAY?” to a chorus of giggles. I’ve been hyper aware of being too “broad” since! The speed of speech was also a problem. My Northern Irish fraus will understand this 😂

on topic, Jack is Norn Irish, didn’t ya know?!!

I'm now in the USA, people stare at me blankly and look to my husband and even kids for translation 😆 Pretty sure Jack had said she hasn't even visited NI since she was a child, yet she is constantly typing in NI slang, and bringing it up as if it's her home away from home, when we all know that's (celery,) EDINBURGH!
