What did my friend mean when he said this?

“You Irish aren’t exactly quite, and we British aren’t exactly deaf…”

I love the Irish, loud or otherwise! But as I am a Brit, I suppose I am not allowed to make any comical remarks. I will state that, for the record, I am not a Muslim (****Wizard**** take heed!).

Not exactly a compliment. He meant that as a people the Irish tend to be less refined and socially correct than the English, and that you should work on that. Being pompus kind of goes along with being English.

Most of the answers you have received are correct, to a point. Without knowing the whole situation involved, his response appears to be a very rude thing to say to someone. Perhaps you were speaking loudly because the Brit seemed uncommonly dense, and you thought that maybe he simply wasn’t hearing you very well. If he persists with such rude responses, you might mention this possibility to him.

Interesting: this mean that English are not deaf so please speak softly. Also meaning that the Irish talk loudly anyways and it’s not your fault.

It means someone is not quiet. and someone else is not deaf. So speak quieter because we are not deaf.

Irish are very fond of their own voices.That’s why so many of them became Australians.But the Brits are no fun any more, their all Muslims.

I’m not exactly certain but, I believe you were insulted. He said you were crazy and he understood why you were.

Sounds to me like your friend is a little racist and thinks you’re a loudmouth.
