This isn't luck at all, but more of an attitiude, a positive look at a bad situation.
The Irish didn't survive a potato famine, and being treated as 3rd class citizens upon their arrival to the U.S. (til the mid-late 1900's)by not having a positive outlook and a great sense of humor!

Mary-"Yea, Luck of the Irish"

This was the name given to blacks in England and in America. It comes from the theory that the two underclass races would eventually merge together and form one race.
'No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs' - sign posted on many places of work, phasing out a bit before the mid-20th Century. Many Irish pubs have an old sign like this put up above the door for ironic amusement and historical interest. As if to say, 'This is the way things were.'
"No -- We don't hire any paddies or smoked Irish here, now get to movin'"

Term used to describe an untrustworthy male who chronically creeps around bars and functions where alcohol is served but does not drink himself. Thus, looking to take advantage of vulnerable women, as well as, men who are gambling while drunk.
The sharp dressed man approached the men playing poker. Seeing, the man was drinking a cup of water, Keith shouted, "Get out of here Irish Devil we have no need for you here!"

the absolute scariest person in the world, so unknowing but also knowing at the same time. She'll give you the full on rant and next minute give you a hug but that hug has strings attached and next thing you know your doing everyone's chores for a week or raking the lawn in "light rain" in your pyjamas.

When you make plans with someone and know, when making plans, that you’re definitely going to following through.
Yeah, I’ll see you at the next bar. I’m right behind you. Turns to friend, “yeah I’m definitely not going.”
Friend: ahh yes, the ole Irish coupon. Smooth.
A person that was born in America, but has ancestors from Ireland. They might actually have some fairly close family in Ireland. They are very proud of their heritage and have good reason to be.
He is Irish-American, his great- grandfater was born in Ireland.
