I keep seeing these words come up in chat from Irish users of the site. I had to look the meaning up.
Taig

I'm not from Ireland but using these "hate words" in chat should be banned.
Its 2024 for god sake and we have all seen Derry girls. This sh** needs to end and next time I see people using these words in chat I want them banned.

Taig is a derogatory term for an Irish Catholic. It is mainly used by sectarian loyalists in Northern Ireland and Scotland. It has been used in sectarian slogans such as "Kill All Taigs" (KAT) and "All Taigs Are Targets" (ATAT). |

Derogatory term for an Irish Catholic. Origins are unknown but used in the United States as a term for Irish railroad construction workers or someone who tars the road, principle occupations for immigrants at the time following the Great Famine. |
