Wait the Brits? Not the English? Ireland is part of the British Isles, doesn't that make them Brits too?

On a linguistic level yes. The ancient Greeks named the islands after the Prythonic tribes, who were active in Britannia and Hibernia (Ireland).

On a don’t-annoy-the-alarm-clock-aficionados level, nope. This guy isn’t with me. Never met them.
