Irish Fire Drill

When you take 8 shots of whiskey as fast as you can, then drive home before you wrap around a tree.

A place that makes some hot subs, apart from the fact that they serve it on cake.

Irish goodbye

1) getting so drunk at a party that one wanders off into the woods to wake up wondering "where's my underwear" and "this wolf lends new meaning to 'coyote ugly'" circa late 19th/early 20th centuries, usually derogatory reference to Irish ancestry and careless intoxication;

2) to do a thing without permission (especially to leave: as to leave a post, charge, elected/appointed office, husband/wife, or social position)
3) other versions:

3 a) the "French leave" circa 18th century English (citation: Merriam Webster: 1768-71) and references a party-goer exiting without properly taking "leave" of the host, often when wine has compromised coherency or motor function, or when disgraced by social or political position, behavior, or opinion;

3 b) filer à l'anglaise (FR) ("to leave English style")

3 c) άδεια από τη σημαία (Greek) ("leave on lowering of the flag (without discharge)") essentially to abandon one's post at nightfall
3 d) despedida a la francesa (Sp) ("goodbye in the French way", "French farewell")
3 e) most European languages reference "in the English way" with dates of common usage suggesting association with derogatory reflection on English civil wars, Welsh conflicts, Irish independence, and even a resurgence of usage with Brexit. Spanish and English reference French with derogatory connotation. English adds Irish, Scotch, Welsh, and Boer.

Irish

Irish is the national language of Ireland, yet if were to ask the average Irish person to say anything other than "hello" or "kiss my ass" in Irish you will most likely get a moment of awkward silence followed up by a random flurry of Irish words which they learned from 6th class.
Foreigner: Hey Seán, you're Irish, how do you say "I made in a sandwich" in Irish?

Seán: *Momentary pause* "An bfhuil chead agam dul go dtí an lethreis?"
