This is even more hilarious considering what follows:
“His’d be Erse, not Gaelic. We’re not the same, and we whipped Scotland at Quidditch last year.” Seamus pointed out defensively.
Erse is a form of Gaelic. The statement doesn't make any sense. And unless Seamus was a scholar, it's so fucking unlikely he would use that word to begin with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erse
Erse can be: -an alternative name for any Goidelic language, especially Irish, from Erische. -a 16th-19th Century Scots[1] name for Scottish Gaelic
I presume Seamus is using it in the second (ironically) non-Irish sense. Why a blue collar kid would be using an archaic 16th to 19th century term for a language he doesn't speak is beyond me. I assume because Andy has a kink for sprinkling his writing with terms that are unfamiliar to his readers to demonstrate how well-read he is.
