Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for February 18, 2015

One of the finest Fighting Irish.

McGregor sounds way more Scottish than Irish to me.

your right

Normally, MacX is Scottish, and McX is Irish. Former pronounced with a hard “Mack” and latter is more of a “Mick.”

A kick-boxing Irish/Scottish squirrel? I think the acorn(s) have been ground into mead.

I think the term “Fighting Irish” is a redundancy.

I want to meet Acorn Macgyver.

It’s not a different kind of acorn they have there, it’s just fermented before they consume it.

Descendants of Rob Roy MacGregor (yes, that Rob Roy, played in the movie of the same name by Irish born, Liam Neeson) settled around McGregor, Iowa, and in 1849 it was reported that the original MacGregor seal and signet was owned by Alex McGregor of Iowa. Thus, the spelling of the name became Americanized in the U.S. Everywhere else it is still a ‘Mac’.

Not sure when Asiatic martial arts became a cultural aspect of either Ireland or Scotland. And “McGregor,” whether spelled “McGregor” or “MacGregor,” is generally considered a Scottish surname as opposed to Irish. That doesn’t mean there aren’t MacGregors living in Ireland, especially since back in the day the English exiled to Ireland a whole bunch of Scots they displaced, thereby to displace the native Irish; but I digress.

I think this is in reference to the UFC fighter Conor Mcgregor. But I might be wrong.
