用法筆記
This word is a racial and religious slur. It was historically used with hostility toward Irish immigrants and Roman Catholics, especially in Britain and the United States. Using it today is deeply offensive and can cause serious harm. Do not use it — even in reported speech — unless you are discussing the term itself in a historical or linguistic context.
