paddywhackery 

The fakey, out-of-a-box Irishness that insists on the same damned songs and the same damned menu and the same damned Guinness advertisements on the wall of every Irish bar outside of Ireland.
Seen in nearly every film which features a non Irish actor doing an Irish accent. Notable exceptions include Daniel Day Lewis in "In The Name of The Father" and Bradd Pitt in "Snatch".
"Every St.Patricks day Jose liked to emphasize his Irish roots by wearing green, drinking Guiness and referring to the 'old country' but it smacked of Paddywhackery"

Paddywhacked

To commit to do something with someone, only to appease them and not actually do.
Person A: We are going to celebrate a friends' birthday tomorrow night. Join us (insert location/time).

Person B: Sounds goods, I look forward to it. See you tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night comes, Person B is not there. You, believing they would be there due to previous conversation, have been officially Paddywhacked.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
