As someone whose family is predominantly Irish (my father is 100% Irish, as example)... I get really, really, reeeeeeeeally vexed by the 'Well my great-great-grandfather's mother was an O'Reilly so that means I'm Irish!' crowd. I mean, I guess it could mean they are? But they also can be some of the most freakin' obnoxious.

...like the one guy who sat in an OOC Lounge one time telling everyone how his family were IRISH WITCH HUNTERS. All based on a 'my father's aunt's husband's family have the last name <X> and they're witch hunters based on this google search I did....' Like, not even blood relatives but hooooooo boy.

But yes, the whole distill it into a drinking holiday thing- ugh. Ugggggh.
