: Stroganina??? Maybe, confusion with beef Stroganoff? ("Stroganina" is just deep-frozen raw meat, grated, the Siberians' once staple food. I doubt the Irlandets would eat that -- I wouldn't! :-)

А что касается путаницы с существительным-прилагательным, то могу напомнить старый анекдот о встрече 2х евреев:
- Здравствуйте. Я русский.
- А я американский.

: Yes, Irishman; or since the tone of the sentences is less than polite, maybe Mick or bog-trotter. (I never heard of an Irishman being called a Greek - most confusing!)
