Luck of the irish

This is an American phrase, not an Irish one. It’s an insult to Irish people that was coined during gold mining when a lot of Irish people arrived to make money suggesting they were stupid.

The idea was that if an Irish person could find gold then it was if to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed.

-That’s the luck of the Irish for you

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.

This whole account proves its lack of purpose that made Ireland a horrible experience, Britain should Make The Irish Work Again
