What da "traditional St. Patrick's Day" humans in da world need to realize before employing sweet-talking "charmed advantages of their ancestral home-country" tactics in an attempt to solicit undue favor with others, such as being given special treatment, allowed extra leniency, etc.
Just because you've got Celtic roots and/or red hair and freckles, this does not mean that you should presume to be able to use your "luck of the Irish" strategy to weasel your way to undeserved gain or forgiveness --- generally speaking, Flaherty will get you nowhere!

Refers to da "3-to-1" ratio of where ya either sue da audio-equipment manufacturer for just da expenses dat you incurred due to their shoddy/faulty workmanship on their woofers dat were installed in your loudspeakers, as opposed to asking them to pay you three times your expenses if da tweeters either didn't work properly or had crappy sound.
Pro-grade speaker-builders like JBL and EV are always very careful how they build their rugged high-powered speakers designed for rock bands and outdoor concerts --- they use only da best materials and really "build 'em like a tank" to ensure reliability and quality sound, and therefore lessen da chance of their having to worry about "bass damages vs. treble damages" lawsuits from disgruntled musicians.

Public Leaning Post. Does not exist in real life; merely referred to by any indigant person whom someone else of perfectly sound physique tries to lean against merely out of laziness.
Lazy dude, resting his broad shoulder against his slight-figured girlfriend while they're standing at a bus stop: Aahhh... convenient back-rest!
Girl, giving him an indignant shove: Hey --- get OFFA me, ya big lugg! I'm not a PLP!

An assets-enrichment-seeking court case brought by someone claiming to have suffered a financial setback.
If you get gypped by someone for a lot of money, it usually will be because said shyster had no funds of his own to begin with, so there would probably be little use in filing a lossuit over it --- "you can't get blood out of a stone", so it would likely be just a waste of time and court-costs.

How yer automobile's hood and front fenders end up after an unfortunate head-on encounter wif a stone wall.
Back in da "good ol' days" when auto-bodies were real solid metal, if you clunked into something at fairly low speed, da bumper would just bounce off with little damage, and you could just back up and keep on a-truckin'. Nowadays, though, wif all da fancy-schamncy DOT-mandated "crumple zones" on vehicles, your whole front end gets totally carrugated even after just a minor collision, and then you gotta either buy a whole 'nother vehicle or spend thousands of dollars to get everything straightened out again!
