That's called an Ohio goodbye

Ohioan here, can confirm.

No, an Ohio goodbye tales about an hour and a half. It starts with saying "WELP" and slapping your thighs, and ends with the host following you outside to say goodbye a few more times and waving as you drive off.

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.

Ok? I'm fine having to explain a drink. I'm not so ok with being insensitive about that kind of thing.

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

To be fair that is a pretty nuanced conversation, cognitively speaking
