Robert Murphy's definitions

Irish-American

A person in the US whose distant relatives were smart enough and industrious enough to escape a dull and drunken land for a better life.

Irish-American, John O'Riley, has his great-great-great-grandfather to thank for everything good in his life and not having to live the cursed existance of his slow-witted distant cousins, of sitting on their asses all day drinking, smoking and complaining.
