A rather old slur directed at Irish people. In the late 1800s, the Irish were viewed as a secondary race by White Supremacists (see "Inbreds, Elite English") as were black people. (Who were conversely referred to as "Smoked Irish." I shit you not. People back then had ISSUES.)
These days, the terms has been embraced by Irish wannabe gangsters and thugs, et al, as a badge of honour. Look to House of Pain and Eminem as heroes.
