Irish-ishy

adj. Pseudo-Irish--better check the family tree for stereotypes and leprechauns.

Real citation: "I also filled out dozens of forms to finalize my stay in Dublin: gas, electricity, apartment, retirement fund (oh yes, real soon now), social security and all that mandatory stuff. Now living in the new and permanent apartment it feels like.. well not Irish..ishy but living, not visiting."

Made-up citation: "I have an Irish-ishy heritage, along with some British blood, which is why I hate myself and blew up my own smoothie maker."
