Get the Irish-Americanmug. Unlike in Ireland, where one can be easliy defined as Irish, defing someone as American is inaccurate seeing as the country is roughly a hundred times bigger. Because America is so large, we actually have to specify what blood we've got in us when talking to each other. And there is no prouder blood to claim than Irish blood,(one could maybe argue Italian), because they had to put up with a lot of crap and prejudice(not nearly as much as the blacks, but a close second)
1.)Blacks and Irish need not apply
2.)Real Paddy: You're American
Irish-American: I'm Irish-American, America's a big fuckin country.
Paddy: You don't count, you're a yank, a wanabe.
Irish-American: My grandparents were born in Ireland, I think that gives me some big fuckin ties to it, you elitist douche.
Paddy: Feck off

Get the Irish-Americanmug. people living in America that have Irish ancestry. We are plastic paddies because many of us have a mix of heritages. Still we are proud that we are part Irish. If the people in Ireland won't accept the fact that we are proud then they can look and see that America has more people claiming to be Irish than Ireland has people.
IA: I'm Irish American
IM: You fucking Plastic Paddy
IA: You mind saying that to 30 million others of us?

Get the Irish-Americanmug. An American-American whose Great Great Great Grandmother's cousin once wore a green skirt and drank a pint of Guinness.
I spoke to an Irish-American (from Boston of course) and took great pleasure in telling him that my great-grandfather was Irish and involved in the Easter Uprising. It was true, he was Head of his Lodge in the Orange Order and became a section commander in the Black and Tans. He defended his Dublin against the Fenian insurrectionists (note: rising against the lawful government during wartime is punishable by death in most countries) and personally shot some of them.

Get the Irish-Americanmug. Someone who is, in the majority of cases, not actually Irish at all. To be Irish, you have to be born in IRELAND. Its a relatlively small Island off the coast of the UK for those who don't know...
This whole identity seems to be popular amongst people who seem to be attracted to aligning with and relating to a nationality that is often seen to be; a minority, hard done by, repressed, and most importantly of all, WHITE. Yes, that is why it is regarded by some to be attractive to be strongly linked to this diaspora, YOU ARE HARD DONE BY, AND WHITE!!!!!!!!!! amazing! That, in my opinion, is why so many people want to be an Irish American, for them it is much better than being 'Mexican' or 'Black'. You're just American, get over it.

Get the Irish Americanmug. A person in the US whose distant relatives were smart enough and industrious enough to escape a dull and drunken land for a better life.
Irish-American, John O'Riley, has his great-great-great-grandfather to thank for everything good in his life and not having to live the cursed existance of his slow-witted distant cousins, of sitting on their asses all day drinking, smoking and complaining.
