Irish twins

Irish twins is a slang term that refers to siblings born less than 12 months apart - usually in the same calendar year. It references a perception about families of Irish Catholics who may not use birth control (and thus may have children in quicker succession), but it is often used endearingly by the families of the "twins" themselves.

Similarly, Irish triplets means three children in two years.
