Irish Hello

When you’ve gotten into a tiff with someone and you meet up to hang out and don’t mention the fight

Man, can we Irish hello it. I don’t want to talk about it

Irish Hello

A hasty arrival to a gathering made without previously confirming attendance or without invite with the intent to be cheeky or a rabble rouser. An Irish Hello is most common among groups of friends and old man sports clubs where competition and camaraderie are most valued.

Joe pulled an Irish Hello at happy hour wearing a beard and telling soccer jokes. The entire group was flabbergasted.

Irish hello

When you show up unannounced both at a delightfully appropriate time and place, and things somehow work out despite every reason they shouldn't.

Man me and the boys were down south building houses, and we wanted to go to the strip club. It was 10am but we gave them the Irish hello. "This is a strip club, it's 10 in the morning. We're closed" "Well, we're here!" "Okay fine let me make a phone call".

The Irish Hello 

The Irish Hello is a newly coined term derived from the already famous phrase "The Irish Goodbye". Essentially, it is the opposite of the "Irish Goodbye". The perpetrator of the "Irish Hello" will hold court, and show up to a place, party, event, or meeting, uninvited, and unwanted without any foreseeable indication of their arrival. Its first origins date back to John Paul Occhipinti's famous exile and return to his home in Scranton, PA. John Paul Occhipinti left his son John Salvatore Occhipinti the reins of the home with permission to throw countless, and endless parties, only to return from Ocala, Florida with no notice, intentionally killing the buzz of the summer parties that were set to ensue.

John Salvatore Occhipinti was in the midst of a Blockbuster House Party only to receive "The Irish Hello" from his father, John Paul Occhipinti who was in a Mesh Beach T-Shirt waiting at the door. John Salvatore had to leave his Beer Pong Championship Match to help unload his father's luggage, knowing full and well this Irish Hello was the Irish Goodbye to raging hard as fuck.
