Irish Dance

Irish Dance is an incredibly hard sport that requires an insane amount of physical strength, stamina and technique. Most people don't know what is really is, they hear the name "Irish Dance" and think it is funny and easy and stupid. This is bull, people have no clue what this sport is and how hard it is. In irish dance you need to need to have incredible calf and leg and ab muscles and stamina so you can have good jumps and lifts and can stay on your toes. It is very technical and you need to be foot perfect, you need to use your calf muscles and abs to good lift and stay on ur toes and always have good rythym . If you want to be good, you have to practice and workout every single day. Those hockey boys who say they know what it is and that its easy, they have no idea they couldnt last through 1 second of it. Beyond all the makeup and dresses is THE HARDEST SPORT EVER SO IF YOU HAVENT ACTUALLY SEEN IRISH DANCE OR TRIED IT SHUT YOU DUMBASS MOUTH UP.

Irish Snap

A game played with a basic pack of cards.

The game is derived from regular snap, but as each player places down a card they must say a number with it, the number said must start from Ace (1) and ascend to King (13) then start over so as to create a loop. If the card they place down matches that of the number they say everyone must place their hands down onto the formed pile of cards. The person who places their hand down last picks up all the cards and adds it to their hand.

To win the game you must run out of cards and successfully Snap (place your hand on the formed pile of cards) before any other player while you have no cards left. A player with no cards can also come last in Snapping a pile of cards though and gain cards as a result.

The game is notorious for being overly engaging and resulting in injured hands.
Kid 1: Im bored.

Irish Hand Grenade

A mixed drink typically drunk on St. Patrick's Day, made and drunk like so.
1. Fill a pint glass halfway with a stout such as Guiness.
2. Fill two shot glasses, one with Irish cream such as Baileys and one with Irish whiskey such as Jameson and set them both inside the top of the glass so that they wedge against each other.
3. Pull out the shot of Irish whiskey like you would the pin of a hand grenade and down the shot. The shot of Irish cream will fall in to the stout. Down that next.
"Sure do love these Irish Hand Grenades. Just wish it wasn't so fucking awkward."

Irish Story

A story, usually told by one of Irish descent, that may have a clear beginning and end but takes drastic, seemingly pointless turns throughout. The story is, in all likelihood, also completely bullshit, but not necessarily. Elements of the story may also just be exaggerated for comedic or dramatic effect, leaving the story to otherwise be truthful.

Popularized by the SleepyCabin Podcast, but likely familiar to anyone of Irish descent.

NIALL: This is how tragic my life is: My dad used to take me out fishing, and we used to go about five times each summer for years, and we never once caught a fish between us. But, like, I was so bad at it that once, I pissed my pants, and my dad was so disappointed that we didn't catch a fish and that I pissed my pants.

ZACH: Did you piss your pants because you didn't catch a fish, or were you nervous? What'd you piss your pants for?

NIALL: I just pissed my pants.

JEFF: What is it with these stories Irishmen tell? "This one time I went to the lake and...I pissed my pants, then uh...someone threw a rock at me. The end!" I don't know what it is with these stories you guys-...you and Chris are like: "This one time I was running down the road, and there was a bug, and I stepped on it, and someone...spit in my eye. I had the worst day ever because someone spit in my eye!"

STAMPER: THAT'S SO TRUE!! THAT IS SO TRUE!!! Your stories are so all over the place!

NIALL: But...if you let me finish my story, it wouldn't be so all over the fucking place!

STAMPER: IT ALREADY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE!!

...

STAMPER: Oh, my God, dude, Niall. If you were a hitman, you would be like, "Alright, so I went up to the top of the bell tower...and I had the guy in my sight...and then I put my gun down and I ate a chocolate bar...and then I went back and..." It's like, what does the chocolate bar have to do with you killing somebody? THOSE ARE IRISH STORIES!!"' (Irish Story)
