Sentence: Like father, like son, they say... Whenever Jack and Jack Jr. spend more than 5 minutes together you can be assured that sparks will fly.

Etymology: mirror (a reflective surface, now typically of glass coated with a metal amalgam, that reflects a clear image) + irritation (the state of feeling annoyed, impatient, or angry)
