Irish Panda

When a pale skinned person spends the whole day out in the sun while wearing sunglasses the entire time. At the end of the day the persons face will be sunburned except for the circles around their eyes where the sunglasses were, keeping them nice and pale, resembling the circles around the eyes of a Panda Bear.
Dude, your roasted.
Yeah, but I was wearing sunglasses.

I see that, you look like an Irish Panda

Paper irish: Americans who are genetically irish but are scoffed at by the REAL irish. That is, they are irish only according to 23 and me.
