The term "Irish Twins" refers to siblings born less than 12 months apart, a phrase rooted in 19th-century derogatory stereotypes aimed at Irish immigrant families in the US. Despite its initial negative connotations, many families today use it affectionately to denote the close bond between siblings born close together. However, it remains a term laden with historical prejudice, necessitating a sensitive and informed approach to its usage.
