Things You Don't Say To The Irish

Many of us do stereotype them. "Top of the morning" isn't something they say (anymore, perhaps?), so don't say it to them as an introductory greeting.

Other things, too, all explained in this enjoyable video.

Not being irish, I always wonder what they think about some American giving them an earful about how their great-great granny is from Ireland, but left during the famine, as if that isn't a story they've heard a million times.

No one thinks they can handle their drinks, it's pretty obvious they can't handle them, hence the stereotype. This mick needs to learn more about this shit before he makes a video.

BWAAAAAH.

Irish Curse A very small penis. A baby corn. A baby dick. A bottle cap. A Cocktail Weiner.

The classic definition is "red nose, short hose"; i.e., the tendency of Irish men to take to alcohol and to have a smaller than average penis.

A trait of the Irish heritage that causes people of Irish decent to have small unsatisfying penis.

A complete definition of the Irish Curse would be the combination of very small penis/very LARGE testicles.

Supposedly they find all of the Irish Americans who loudly speak of their irishness silly and embarrassing. Personally, I understand why a lot of Americans want to cling to their ancestral identity but I guess from their point of view these people are just John from Boston or Patrick from Delaware, no matter where their great grandfather came from.

by Anonymousreply 72December 3, 2022 4:22 AM

R72 Well itā€™s typically in major cities or areas of big European immigrants from the 1900ā€™s. NYC, Boston, Chicago, Philly. Cities where there are still ethnic neighborhoods.

Itā€™s like South Boston is primarily Irish Americans so thereā€™s a connection there to the culture / religion / identity because it was a large Irish community.

Works the same way with Italians and Greeks and etc, etc.

R78, it actually did happen. This was the summer of 2002. I had just graduated college and spent 5 weeks backpacking Europe with a friend. We were in Pamplona for the running of the bulls and then took the train to Madrid where this incident happened at an Irish pub. Trust me, if I was gonna make the story up I wouldn't make it up as happening in Spain of all places. Tbh, I didn't even know they had Irish pubs there until we stumbled into one.

R8 Many Irish-Americans take their heritage very seriously, which I think annoys many actual Irish, since much of Irish-American culture is based on past history that's become romanticized over the years.
