Irish Hello

An Irish Hello is when you sneak into a party and hide for twenty minutes before walking out as if you’ve been there the whole time.

Jack pulled an Irish Hello last night. We didn’t even see him show up. I just looked behind me and there he was mingling with everyone.

When you no show an event you're supposed to attend.

Irish Hello

Similar to an Irish Goodbye, an Irish Hello is a hen you wait until you are absolutely sure a person is leaving before you make an effort to acknowledge their presence. It’s a dick move but everyone does it so get over yourself.

“Roger is finally leaving. Let’s go over and give him the ol’ ‘Irish Hello’ so he doesn’t think we’re dicks and invites us back to his sick beach house next summer. Man, I hate that guy.”

What you do last night?? I was with an awful group of people last night. I pulled an irish hello and then was out until the bar closed

Irish hello

Contrary to the Irish goodbye, an Irish hello is the act of promising others you will attend an event/party and then never showing up nor cancelling last minute.

Ryan committed an Irish hello when he RSVP'd to his friend's wife's birthday party , but decided he didn't want to go and never showed up or let anyone know, and looked like a total asshole.

Irish Hello

Arriving late to a party, sneaking past everyone without a greeting to the bar for a few shots to catch up then coming out to say hello.

Shawn: Have you seen Scott? I thought he just got here and now I can't find him.
Kelly: Yeah! Where is he? We need to get him on the next round.

Scott: <just walking in> Hello! No need! I just had a few on my own!
Shawn: aw damn ye fer giving us the old Irish hello ye bastard
