Irish whisper

Derived from when someone is really drunk they try to "Irish whisper" something to someone and everyone hears it because you are too drunk to keep your voice down. Guessing it is called "Irish" because the Irish are known for love of drinking alcohol?
If you are speaking in a normal or loud tone "Hey Bill check out the hot girl next to me with the big tits! Isn't she hot?" You will in fact be doing an Irish Whisper.

Irish Alzheimers

A condition primarily (not exclusively) seen in women of Irish ancestry involving a loss of rational and objective memory, specifically as it pertains to any past misdoings on their behalf. This lapse in memory is almost always accompanied by an innate ability to recall with unparalleled clarity any wrong others have caused them, regardless of how trivial or seemingly unrelated.
I was winning the argument with Patricia until her Irish Alzheimers flared up and she reminded me that on our third date I told her she didn't look good in yellow.

Irish Hand Grenade

A mixed drink typically drunk on St. Patrick's Day, made and drunk like so.
1. Fill a pint glass halfway with a stout such as Guiness.
2. Fill two shot glasses, one with Irish cream such as Baileys and one with Irish whiskey such as Jameson and set them both inside the top of the glass so that they wedge against each other.
3. Pull out the shot of Irish whiskey like you would the pin of a hand grenade and down the shot. The shot of Irish cream will fall in to the stout. Down that next.
"Sure do love these Irish Hand Grenades. Just wish it wasn't so fucking awkward."
