Luck of the irish

This is an American phrase, not an Irish one. It’s an insult to Irish people that was coined during gold mining when a lot of Irish people arrived to make money suggesting they were stupid.

The idea was that if an Irish person could find gold then it was if to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed.

-He got his promotion at work
-That’s the luck of the Irish for you

Paddy’s Luck Buck

A small green slip of paper with a lucky clover drawn on it left by Leprechauns on St Patricks’ day after they have outwitted the Leprechaun Trap laid out by a child. It is a token of appreciate from the Leprechaun for the child’s hard work, but a reminder that Paddy was not caught.

I found a fresh Paddy’s Luck Buck in my trap but he got away. I know he was here because he used my bathroom and took all my gold. I’ll get him next year!

Fischer Luck

A targeted use of Murphys Law directed at a Fischer, usually set off by bad luck or random karma. The negative act against the Fischer is typically an annoyance and no real harm is achieved or felt. However it also works as a limiter of success. Fischer luck prevents a Fischer from becoming super wealthy, but will always have just enough, keeping the Fischer plain and boring.

Every light turned red as I approached each intersection... damn Fischer Luck!

Raff Luck

Named after the Raff Family;

Raff luck is when literally everything in your life goes wrong by design. Having Raff Luck means you’re destined for failure from birth but you have no other option but to continue living.

“I’m having the worst Raff Luck my grandpa committed suicide, i was unknowingly raised in a cult, and i’ve been desperately suicidal since birth”
