Irish Democracy

A political philosophy which posits that the law is merely what the authorities will actually do something about.

The fellas got a lesson in Irish Democracy when the whole neighborhood blew off illegal fireworks on the 4th of July and the cops sat and watched the show.

Irish drive-by

Urinating in a public, men's bathroom that has more than one urinal and opting to, rather than use one urinal and stick to it, run the gauntlet and piss in all of the urinals in a continuous stream. Usually performed while drunk, although sober attempts are acceptable.

I got out of the movie and there was nobody there, except this old dude taking a shit. So, I did an Irish drive-by.

Irish Diplomacy

An ancient method of diplomacy from the Emerald Isle. Two men who have an issue with each other agree to sit down at a table with a bottle of whisky between them. As they discuss their issue, they must match each other shot for shot. The diplomatic relations are not over until the bottle is gone or someone dies.

"Hey, why were you hanging out with Emily? I thought you hated that chick for stealing from you."
"It's all fine now, we used Irish Diplomacy and worked everything out"
