Irish apricots

potatoes. Irish Cockney , a child born of Irish parents in any part of the southern counties of England. It is a singular fact that Irish men born profe great abhorrence of Irish Cockneys , while the latter despise all Irish, and use the word as one of reproach. Irish Cockneys were originally only Cockneys born of an Irish strain, but the term has proved very elastic, and threatens soon to mean any English-born person whose descent is Hibernian. Liverpool will, however, always prove an exception to the rule, as the name “Liverpool Irish men” is given to those who would in any southern part be called Cockneys.
