Being Irish during the whole Brexit thing is like being the neighbour of that guy who was building his own rocket to prove that the Earth is flat. His inevitable failure is going to be all his own fault but it's still probably going to burn down your conservatory.

Dude, I think you're the only person on the planet who has that definition of 'overseas'. It just means abroad. Foreign.
-
haha it literally means over seas. I.e. there's a sea in between.
-
So, if they'd gone to the Isle of Man would that be 'overseas'?
-
The Isle of Man is also a separate independent country from the UK.
-
Not quite - it's a self-governing British Crown dependency and it's definitely not 'overseas' for Prince Harry.
-
Harry is visiting the Republic of Ireland and the last time I looked it was not a Crown Dependency or any other kind of dependency.
-
Quite so - nobody said it was but Ireland & the United Kingdom are both on the island of Ireland. But that isn't the point. Maybe 'overseas' means different things to different people but for my generation it can't apply to neigbouring European countries even separated by water.

When did it ever mean that? It’s not insular it’s geographically correct

To leave the UK and go to Ireland they don't need to traverse any water. If a Dutch person goes to the Netherlands they are not going on an 'overseas' trip. If a Brit goes to France they don't say they are going 'overseas'. Enough of this ridiculous topic. Stop

Agree. We don't use all words literally. So far, I came across the term 'overseas' only in the sense of far away countries. Someone read that headline to people who don't know the story and ask them, where they think the Royals went. I bet "Ireland" won't be in the top ten.

So Europe is now not "overseas" from UK? Because it definitely is.

Since Britain is an island everywhere else is overseas to us “little Englanders” apart from Wales and Scotland, which are blessed with fortified land borders, and Ireland which has a special concession!
