The Irish Republican Army always referred to their enemies
as "Brits". The IRA killed Brits. And Brits killed them.
And even amongst the anti-monarchist left here in Scotland, 
if somebody calls you a "Brit", meaning somebody who is
far too keen on the United Kingdom with England and far
too ready to do what London wants, they are definitely 
not being friendly. So maybe not so harmless after all.
