britwashing

1 co-opting Irish nationals and claiming them as British

2 cack-handedly confusing Irish people for Brits

'George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde are two of my favourite British writers!' 'Dude, you're Britwashing them; they're Irish'

'The Banshees of Inisherin at the Oscars, wow, what a great year for British film.' 'They're Irish -- you're britwashing'
