BROGUE. An informal, non-technical term for an Irish and sometimes a Scottish or West Country
ACCENT. In the 18c, the expression to
have the brogue on one's tongue was common for an Irish accent and the word has been used at least since the 17c: ‘[They] had both their Education at the English Court, which something refin'd their Gibberish, yet not so much, but that there is still a Brogue’ ( James Farewell,
The Irish Hudibras, London, 1689). The term is used humorously and facetiously in Ireland.
