Now, as far as this Classic Irish Car Bomb is concerned, the classic Irish Car Bomb wikipedia page notes that "The 'Irish' in the name refers to the drink's Irish ingredients; typically Guinness stout, Baileys Irish Cream, and Jameson Irish Whiskey." The Irish Car Bomb wikipedia page also notes that "The term 'car bomb' combines reference to its 'bomb shot' style as well as the noted car bombings of Northern Ireland's Troubles." Yeah, we agree that that's a pretty grim origin for a cocktail name.... In fact, a 2016 Guardian article notes that "Perhaps more than any other cocktail, the Irish Car Bomb is a drink with a split reputation dictated entirely by nationality."
