HF, I see now - you mean 'thread creep'! In addition to being insulted by someone using one of the names provided for by the Constitution of Ireland, you see the term 'thread creep' and assume it refers to you! I think you're trying too hard to find your insults.

Note that "Southern Ireland" was the 26-county state envisaged by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, but it never really functioned, and hasn't existed as a political entity since 1922.

So as a Englishmen.. how am I supposed to refer to the country of which Dublin is the capital?
I don't think most people would take any offence at the country being called "Eire" but it does stand out, and identifies you as British (who isn't used to dealing here) straight away. It's just not a name we use in every day conversation.
For some reason I've never known most British people seem to use the Eire version. I suppose that's the version that is taught in British schools?

I have absolutely no problem with "Eire " being used as it is used on our stamps and passports. The point i'm trying to make is that "Eire" does have certain condescending connotations dating back to the previous centuary.

at night,
in IMC

I've a better suggestion....
Why don't you guys fly over this direction next summer, we'll show you around, buy you a few drinks, let you chase our women (or men) around Temple Bar, and you see what we call ourselves, when we're all pissed
Isn't it time Pprune had an Irish flyin??
