    It’s the same nonsense as invoking “the luck of the Irish”. Said by people who have absolutely no idea about Irish history.

      Darn those extra lucky Irish.

      In Fact it’s well known that they fought overwhelming on the north side of the US civil war because they knew which side was gonna win from their luck, and it had nothing to do with recognizing slavery as another form of the serfdom they just escaped from.
