irish-american

One who claims to be Irish whilst having no idea what (an island), let alone where 'Ireland' is, having never been there, and having no real intention of ever going there. Blissfully unaware of their own country having no dual-citizenship treaty with the Republic of Ireland.
Often displaying a supreme lack of irony by positively shouting about the fact that their family has donated to an international terrorist organisation that murdered children (often Irish children, which is presumably somehow worse) in the very same brash tone they use in praise of their own country's 'War on Tear.'
Slightly less despicable than the anti-smoking brigade, though the demographics often overlap creating a group of people that would incline one towards taking up a superstition such as christianity in order to hope that one'll get to witness armageddon.
Irish-American: Say, 'bud', wurrrr ya from?
Me: Northern Ireland
IA: Oh, Arland, I'm Arsh too!
Me: I'm not actually Irish, I didn't say Ireland, I said, "Northern Ireland." They're seperate countries.
IA: Well I see it as one, the whole place is so close to my heart!
Me: Ah. You must have spent a lot of time there, if you think it's closer to your heart than to that of someone who was born and raised there.
IA: Well, I, um. I never really got the time. But hey, they're joined, right? Same thing, right?
Me: Yeah, well you Mexicans always were a bit fucking slow.
IA: I'm not Mexican.
Me: ... ... (penny never drops). Know what? Fuck off.

Northern Irish

People usually of Scottish and English ancestory living in the 6 Northern Counties of Ireland known as Ulster.Although technically not British, neither are they Irish. They have their origins in the English forcing Scottish settlers into the North of Ireland, during the 16th century.This was to dilute the rebellious Irish Catholic population with Scottish Protestants. As they centuries progressed they did not truly assimilate with the Native Irish, whom they considered to be their enemies, but instead remained somewhat isolated from the rest of the population. When the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed in 1922 after Ireland's War For Independence, the 6 counties to the North (Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Londonderry, Armagh, and Down) opted to remain within the direct rule of the British government. The result was a semi-independent state which is today called Northern Ireland. Northern Irish people have suffered a brutal history of conflict between the opposing Catholic and Protestant factions. Today, however the conflict has quieted down a great deal and Northern Irish people enjoy a prospering, rebuilt,country.

Irish

The toughest motherfuckers to have walked this earth. Don't fuck with the Irish, unless you like having no teeth and your girlfriend being fucked by Irish dudes.
"Yo, he's trying to pick a fight with me."
"Let's go knock his teeth out and fuck his girlfriend. That's what the Irish do."
