Paper irish

Paper irish: Americans who are genetically irish but are scoffed at by the REAL irish. That is, they are irish only according to 23 and me.

If you are a yank and you may have irish descent but you think "too-ra-loo-ra" is an Irish lullaby, and you get drunk on green beer on st. Patrick's day, you're just "paper irish."

paper cobra

When one flushes the toilet and it starts to back up, you thrust your hand into the water and grab the toilet paper blockage

I flushed the toilet, and it started to back up. I had no other choice than to have the paper cobra strike and remove the blockage so the water would go down.
