^ I'm replying on behalf of Pre-evil-Fintan, since we're from the same approximate region. The term "loonie" is derived from the loon. Like the bird. And we say sorry just the same, but we say it more often. Like if you pass by someone in an empty hallway, you would often say sorry, even if you didn't even come close to bumping into them. And if somebody steps on your foot, you say sorry, since you were presumably in their way. If you don't say sorry in either of those occasions, people won't notice it or anything, but people just do it automatically. I've heard that I sound a bit like an American trying to do a British accent, though. (Just try reading this paragraph with a really bad fake british accent and apparently that's what we sound like).
