HEre's what I found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_twins
rish twins is a slang term that refers to siblings born 9 to 12 months apart - usually in the same calendar year, or who are in the same class in school. It references a perception about families of Irish Catholics who may not use birth control (and thus may have children in quicker succession), but it is often used endearingly by the families of the "twins" themselves. |
Yeah, I have cousins that are Irish twins and they do not find that offensive.
