What are other terms for 'bonnie Irish lass'?
Bonnie Lass is a Scottish expression not Irish. You must be referring to the song 'bonnie(attractive-scot) Irish lass(young woman-scot)'. Bonnie Wee lass is certainly more common than the question which I've never heard (wee meaning small). A Colleen (Cailín) is probably the closest meaning a girl or lass. There is a lot of confusion in the US over the Scottish and the Irish probably given that many Americans are descended from one or the other and through intermarrying now both, combined with the fact of the Celtic (Goidelic or Q Celts) connections between the countries. This has led to other confusions such as the erroneous wearing of kilts and tartans (most invented by the Scott's manufacturers in the 1990's for the tourists) by Irish descended Americans.
