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.

Irish Winter

An extremely mild winter with little to no snow fall and temps ranging from 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit with consistent over cast and rainy conditions. Typically used in regards to winter in New England, but applies to anywhere where it should be cold and snowy, but isn’t that year.

Aka a warm winter.

This Irish winters been such a bummer, there’s no ice to slap the puck around!

I love a good Irish winter! I don’t have to deal with any snow, and it’s warm enough to play golf!

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 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

Irish Raise

A job promotion that comes with more responsibility, but no pay increase. Often times the promotion comes with a title change, but not always.

Steve: "Congratulations on becoming the Chief of Wage Cage Quality Control, you must be able to afford organic produce now with that pay raise!"

Dave: "I wish! Unfortunately, it was an Irish raise"

alternative response:
Dave: "I wish, this new job is very Irish"
