Irish Tact

Ability to tell someone to F*** off while making them happy to be on their way.

Solicitor: * rings door bell* "Can I sell you...<interrupted>"
You: *Squirts him in face with steak sauce* "Piss off quickly before the wolves smell you. They hunt at night." *howling in distance*
Solicitor: Gladly runs to car and drives off.

Your friend: Wow, that's some Irish Tact in action. He wasn't even mad at you.

Irish Timing

When all the clocks are slightly wrong, and everyone's running slightly late (or early), but somehow everything happens at the right moment and everything works out.

1. I was running 20 minutes late, had lost my umbrella, and was worried about leaving the cat alone. Then Jim came back but he'd forgotten his keys. I let him in, he stayed home and looked after the cat and lent me his umbrella. Irish timing saved me again.
2. There was a car crash delaying the bus I was gonna take, so I didn't make it to the event. Turns out it was my Irish Timing. The event had been cancelled and I had a great night with my friends instead.

The curse of the Irish carrot

When you date Irish men and they have small dicks. Aka carrot dicks. It’s a curse. Probably a curse from the English. Can be associated with ginger Irish men but can be all Irish men.

I met this great guy but he is an Irish ginger. He’s been hit with…. The curse of the Irish Carrot. His dick is small and I don’t feel much. I’m devastated.

Irish layoff

When your employer stops engaging you or giving you work to do in the hopes that you’ll just go away.

I’ve been waiting for months for an assignment, do you think I’m getting an Irish layoff?

Telephonic Irish Goodbye

When someone is texting you, and mid conversation, especially when you’re expecting a response, they simply stop texting. Some blame falling asleep or being distracted, but some are prone to it, while others are not.

Dude, I was texting my girl last night and asked her how her bar tending shift went, and once again out of no where she gave me the telephonic Irish goodbye. When we texted this morning it’s like last night’s conversation never happened.
