Your dad is the ultimate Irish dad
You knew it. He hits all the beautiful stereotypes we know and love. He's already planning on when to cut the grass next year, isn't he?

Your dad is a bit of an Irish dad, to be sure
He hasn't quite gone full Irish stereotype but he probably loves resting his eyes on the couch and has a leather flip cover for his phone. You have to treasure him.

Your dad's not bothered with any of that stereotyped guff at all
A unique dad, to be sure. He doesn't fit the mould of the auld lad stereotype and he's probably delighted about that. A treasure <3
