Paper irish

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.

If you are a yank and you may have irish descent but you think "too-ra-loo-ra" is an Irish lullaby, and you get drunk on green beer on st. Patrick's day, you're just "paper irish."

Irish Democracy

A political philosophy which posits that the law is merely what the authorities will actually do something about.

The fellas got a lesson in Irish Democracy when the whole neighborhood blew off illegal fireworks on the 4th of July and the cops sat and watched the show.
