Irish Goodbye

When someone makes an exit without advance notice or saying goodbye - thus avoiding any displaying any emotion.

When does Joanna work next? I was hoping to ask her about a shift swap.

Joanna doesn’t work here anymore. She gave us the Irish goodbye. Litterally - she resigned and went to Ireland.

irish ranger wing

a bonefide special forces regiment of the irish army, no other countries special forces come near to their level of commitment or professionalism. they have died in the line of duty but not in some american made conflict over oil, they have died in the peace keeping role which ireland dedicates itself to within the UN. the sad thing about the ranger wing is the irish gave the world modern battle techniques and covert tatics and they have to train with other countries units such as the american delta force, they should be training them.

today the irish ranger wing arrested a dictator but did'nt get any international thanks for it because they arent some trumped up unit like the rest of the worlds special forces

Luck of the Irish

A term that has it's roots in the ironic fact that the Irish are not that lucky at all. Originating from the 1800s, the "Luck of the Irish" referred to their bad luck, having throughout their history suffered famines and invasions that took millions of lives. When the Irish began emigrating on mass to the United States, Canada, Australia and Great Britain, to escape the Emerald Isle the phrase "can you believe the luck of the Irish" was frequently used.

John Lennon - If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead!
