An American phrase, not an Irish one. Used to insult Irish immigrants that came to America during the gold rush.
The Luck of the Irish was to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these idiots find gold. It’s outdated and offensive.

-John got his promotion at work, all the hard work paid off!
- Ah that’s the luck of the Irish for you!

Get the Luck of the Irishmug. 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. Having sex with not one, but two redheads at once. Twins preferred. Basically living out a fantasy of being Hugh Hefner, but with redheads replacing blondes.

Get the Irish confettimug. a greeting given to a male adversary consisting of grabbing him by the balls and squeezing as hard as possible until he doubles over in pain, then headbutting him in the bridge of the nose.
"If you think he's too big to take down otherwise, give him the old Irish Handshake, he'll be on the ground bleeding before he knows what hit him."

Get the Irish Handshakemug. 1. A mixed drink consisting of half a pint of Guinness, with a shot half full of Jameson and half full of Bailey's dropped in. Needs to be chugged ASAP before the entire concoction curdles in your mouth.
2. A drink that will fuck you up so bad your head will feel like it has been in a major terrorist explosion the next morning.
