This isn't luck at all, but more of an attitiude, a positive look at a bad situation.
The Irish didn't survive a potato famine, and being treated as 3rd class citizens upon their arrival to the U.S. (til the mid-late 1900's)by not having a positive outlook and a great sense of humor!

Shady Irish Sneakout (verb) is the act of leaving a social gathering without telling anyone goodbye. There can be various reasons for such behavior. Sometimes, (1)the person leaving without providing a salutation simply wanted to leave without having to say "good bye" to all of his/her friends. In other cases, (2)the person committing the Shady Irish Sneakout may have wanted to avoid saying "bye" because of the worry the others would try to convince him/her to stay. The Shady Irish Sneakout is also common when (3)someone has had too much to drink and have simply determined that they need to leave immediately.
ORIGINATION: 2001 - After a concert at La Zona Rosa in Austin, TX, a group of friends were at the adjacent Backstage Bar when they noticed that Bob Madden had suddenly left unannounced. Upon noticing this, Kevin Brelsford said “He did the Shady Irish Sneakout.” Bob is of course a huge Notre Dame fan and alum and has the Notre Dame Leprechaun tattooed on his arm, thus the “Irish” reference. The likely reason for the Shady Irish Sneakout was a combination of reasons #2 and #3 above.

Get the Irihapeti mug.This was the name given to blacks in England and in America. It comes from the theory that the two underclass races would eventually merge together and form one race.
'No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs' - sign posted on many places of work, phasing out a bit before the mid-20th Century. Many Irish pubs have an old sign like this put up above the door for ironic amusement and historical interest. As if to say, 'This is the way things were.'
