Dancing with the Irish Clown

Masturbation, Spanking the Monkey, Beating the drum, Releasing the One-Eyed Monster.

'Dude, what were you doing!?'
'Oh, I was dancing with the irish clown'
'The door was closed, there was no clown.'
'I know.'

Luck of the Irish

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 It’s outdated and offensive.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!

Suck of the Irish

n. The brilliant ability of Irish women to bob their heads up and down along an erect penis for a time that is far beyond that of those lazy Japanese whores in order to achieve a pure ejaculative mouthful of goodness.

She really had the Suck of the Irish.
