To make a hasty exit, dip out, from a social gathering without announcement or saying goodbye to anyone. Especially relevant when alcohol is involved.
We assume Molly gave us the irish dip when we turned around to ask her a question after drinking a pitcher of beer and she was nowhere to be seen.

Get the irish dip mug.1)Americans whose distant ancestors came from Ireland. Many contries built by immigration use hyphens to denote cultural ties, such as Canada, US, England and Australia. Mainly American, they nonetheless retain the physical and cultural characteristics of Ireland (dark or red hair, pale and thin) and are identified as Irish by the general population and sometimes suffer discrimination due to these physical traits.
2)Americans whose parents are Irish
3)Americans born in the US but raised in Ireland, see Frank McCourt,writer; Aidan Quinn,actor ; Eamon DeValera, patriot and first president of Ireland
4)The people who raised cash and weapons so that the Irish war of Independence could be fought. Without Irish American support there would be no Republic of Ireland

Some Irish claim that Irish-Americans are not Irish at all, but they always lay claim the famous ones, such as Eugene O'Neill and Frank McCourt as their talents are so "Irish".

Get the Irish-American mug.A distinct nomadic Irish ethnic group known to have been in Ireland for centuries, for their own distinct dialect (possibly their own language) and for a certain degree of xenophobia. Synonyms are "Irish Gypsy" and "Tinker" among others. They are not believed to be ethnicly related to other Gypsies though are thought to have a similar lifestyle.

Get the Irish Traveler mug.Someone who, although they have never been to ireland, profoundly believes themselves to be in some way inherently irish. Maybe their great-granny once saw dublin from a boat, or maybe they just like the colour green, who knows.
Wannabe irishness is most common in the USA, although they pop up everywhere. Things wannabe Irish people like: funding the IRA, talking endless bollocks about Ireland, and using some appropriated version of irish identity to excuse behaving like a drunken twat.

Get the wannabe irish mug.In Germany we call this since a long time a "French Goodbye"! With the exception that this person "forgot" to pay his bill.
"Where's Karl? Who's paying the bill?" "Oh, I think he just did a french goodbye!"(German for Irish Goodbye)

Get the Irish Goodbye mug.A large balloon filled with hot salt water and marbles, fired from a giant water balloon slingshot. This weapon of mass destruction was first used on the battle field, on a snowy day in New England, when Fahhkin Quincy kids declared war on Fahhkin North Quincy kids, and they met at Pageant Field to battle it out in an epic snowball fight. As the battle ensued, a shadowy, yet unusually well endowed Irish figure emerged from the woods, launching large white balls which resembled giant snowballs from a large slingshot-like device. Upon hitting their targets, it was clear they were not snowballs, but instead a balloon like object filled with marbles and hot salt water. The devastation caused each time a ball was launched sent the Fahhkin North Quincy kids running back to the McDonalds across from North Quincy High School, where they sat licking their wounds and wondering who the shadowy, yet well endowed, Irish figure was that single handedly ended their epic snowball fight on that fateful day, using the weapon that is now known as the 'Irish Snowball'
Dude that shadowy yet well endowed Irish figure firing Irish Snowballs, came out of nowhere. We never stood a chance!
