'West Briton (adjective West British; both often shortened to West Brit) is a pejorative term for an Irish person who is alleged by the user of the term to be excessively sympathetic to the United Kingdom or who takes his cultural and social cues from Great Britain.
...you know like calling Liverpool FC... 'we'   

[pintsofguinness]

Does having a Grandad(god rest his soul) who was raised in Liverpool(by Irish parents and was born in Kilkenny) and supported Liverpool FC and passed his love of them onto me give me the right to call them we?
Thats why I started supporting Liverpool.......

... is British culture though as defined above. Stop throwing in the emotive stuff too. My Da is dead and buried and loved Celtic, doesn't mean I have to. 'Passed it on to you'... like you had no choice    Still don't get the 'we' by the way.

Why do you let it bother you so much?
Have you nothing else to worry about only someone calling a team they support "we" 
It doesn't bother me 
I find it hilarious that someone gets upset over it...

I remember once on the Late Late years ago Gaybo taking taking a question over the phone and not agreeing with the callers point and ur man saying to him ah sure ur only a west Brit anyway, classic

[The Real Laoislad]

I always thought West Brits to be Dublin people...
