It’s Not What You Say, It's What They Hear

Regarding the origin of the use of the word Hun.

It may be derived from a line in the republican ballad "The Foggy Dew"

And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew

The non-IRA-version actually has and had that down as "Britannia`s sons" but when folk like Sinead O`Connor uses "Huns" it get`s watered down and is deemed "acceptable".
