irish

What you are if you live in, where born in or have parents who were born in Ireland.

Not what Americans are if their ancestors came from Ireland. You are American, your ancestors were Irish.
American Person: Oh my god, you're Irish. My husband is from Cork. He's never been there though. (someone actually said this to me!)

Irish Person: Ri-ight!

or

American Person: Oh my god, it's Saint Patrick's day. I didn't realise it. I should wear something green, I'm Irish. (someone also said this to me!)

Irish person: No you're not, you're American with Irish ancestors!!!

People who are prone to tell you how great they are. Fond of touting their robust economy while failing to mention it was built on the foundation of an E.U. welfare state. Think everything Celtic is romantic, special, unique blah blah blah. Sometimes consider the Scotch and Welsh as Celtic kinsman and sometimes exclude them for not not being true Celts (as if Ireland has the only claim). Say they have their own language but unlike Wales, no one can actually speak it and haven;t for years (That makes them posseurs). Their beer is overrated (Beamish is really good, but doesn't have Guiness' marketing) food sucks (this ain't no France) and sometimes call themselves the blacks of Europe (this is especially offensive, yes they were oppressed but is this the equivalent of enslavement? Only a douchebag Irishman would think so). Do have a good history of music (the folk shit gets old but they can boast of Van Morrison, U2, Thin Lizzie etc.) The one factor that redeems the Irish? They can shit in a bag, stamp made in Ireland on it, and sell it to stupid Americans for $50.
Irish-American wannabe: Kiss Me I'm Irish
Irishman: Where you from?
IAW: Boston, Red Sox Rule!
Irishman: (shitting in a bag) Would you like to buy an authentic Irish souvenir?

People of Irish descent. Considered the "Blacks of Europe" and for good reason. Scientific analysis has shown the Irish to be closer to apes than most Europeans, this is especially apparant in facial structure. Physically they have large, oversized balloon heads with relatively small brains compared to homo sapiens. Sickly pale white skin with bad teeth is common.
Known to be loud and obnoxious in behavior, and prone to alcoholism. Like to think of themselves as tough fighters, but universally known to cut and bleed easily.
Have a long tradition of racial intolerance, and are proud of it. Males of the species often have small penises, known as "the curse of the irish". It is believed the "baby dick syndrome" is a major cause of anger issues and alcoholism among the males. Their 'cuisine' is very simple, all foods are boiled with a minimal seasonings. A common snack is a dirty potato fresh from the earth,devoured with much relish! They must eat potatoes at regular intervals, failure to do so will lead to paranoia and mental instability.(eg. "They're Always After me Lucky Charms!")
Their beverage of choice to wash the spuds down is bottled sewage known as "Guinness".
Interestingly, despite all these shortcomings, they have a "superiority complex" bordering on arrogance. It is believed this developed as a coping mechanism.

Occupation: The males are known to work as police officers, where laziness,lack of character, and racist attitudes make them an ideal fit. Others work in non mentally demanding fields such as construction.

Mating: Often occurs while intoxicated, birth control is rarely used. Low intelligence and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome are believed to be causative factors... Litters are large, with the female bearing over 15 "tater tots" in an average lifespan.

Culture: Have brought the world numerous abominations such as "Riverdance", "U2", hack/plagarist Denis Leary and the always nauseating "Dropkick Murphys".
A million Irish starved to death during the potato famine. . .You're on an ISLAND for chrissakes, learn how to FISH, you stupid Micks!

I needs me beloved potato NOW, Molly!!

Paddy: Kiss me, I'm Irish!!

Woman: *Vomits* Is that lipless orifice filled with rotten, jagged teeth supposed to be your mouth??
