St. Stephen's Day,Boxing Day

[Mario]

Any Southerner who calls it "Boxing Day" should be whipped.
In the North it is coming at you from all the British tv stations, so people are bound to accidentally use the phrase.
There is no excuse down South though!

We get the British Channels  down south .While the majority of them up north can get RTÉ so that doesn't really fly

In the last 10 years this is the case, i remember when i was younger most households wouldn't have access to RTE, similarly when i went on Holidays to the South, very rarely had you access to British TV.

Why would anyone from Ireland call it Boxing Day???

Why would someone who's not religious call it St Stephen's day?

Last ten years my arse... there were all the stations including SKY in the 'south' way back 20 years ago... I remember watching 1989 Liverpool - Arsenel last league game live in Tipperary and it wern't on RTE.  Also have watched RTE up here for far longer than 20 years... some great movies on Boxing day too
