Personally, I've started calling it an 'Irish Shot Drop' to be a bit more considerate.

At the end of the day it's whatever is understood by the bartender. There's also probably a pretty large proportion of people ordering these who have never even heard of The Troubles.

Yeah, Irish Slammer or even Irish Bomb Shot are probably better names.
