Most of those from the Republic (including myself) you'll find, find it derogatory, given the british hold on ireland both in the past and now. Certainly since the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 the terms been seen as imperialistic if not insensitive.

So it certainly is not simply a geographical term.

That's your opinion to which you are quite entitled.

However.......

Fine, if you can't see why it's insulting to those of us from or in the republic that's your lookout.
