Where does the phrase Irish goodbye come from?

Irish goodbye is too sneak out of a bar or party with out saying goodbye to any one you came with. Were trying to decide if my friend made it up or if its a real saying.

The correct term is actually Irish exit.

To leave a social event drunk without any recollection of when or how.

Dude 1: Dude, I don’t even know what time I left the wedding. Man was I trashed.

Dude 2: Yeah man, nice Irish exit, nobody knew you even left.
