luck of the irish

During the gold and silver rush years in the second half of the 19th century, a number of the most famous and successful miners were of Irish and Irish American birth. . . .Over time this association of the Irish with mining fortunes led to the expression 'luck of the Irish.'

That miner must have the luck of the irish.

Gump Luck

Fortunate events that happen to the less fortunate or to individuals who are not expected to succeed (i.e. success of mentally and/or physically challenged individuals). Also, superficial successes the come to humble individuals who realize that being a person of high moral character is much more important than gains of a superficial nature.

You would think that Billy, the blind kid from 4C, would have some Gump luck, but I guess not. He bought a bird whose head had fallen off, but was taped back on by Lloyd, the sick limo driver.

Luck of the Irish

An American phrase, not an Irish one. Used to insult Irish immigrants that came to America during the gold rush.

The Luck of the Irish was to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these idiots find gold. It’s outdated and offensive.

-John got his promotion at work, all the hard work paid off!
- Ah that’s the luck of the Irish for you!

Lucking Out

When you quit a job, task, or team abruptly because you are just mentally checked out and unable to deal with it another moment longer. Typically out of nowhere and with little to no notice.

In reference to Andrew Luck retiring abruptly from the NFL at the age of 29.

"I can't believe Andrew Luck retired at 29, two weeks before the season started."

"Talk about Lucking Out!"
