"Paddy" is just as stupid.

Saint Patrick was an Irish-hating, Romano-British Civil Servant who brought the bull**** of Monotheistic Christianity to this island and destroyed our real and authentic Heathen spirituality. We celebrate his feast day because it was a Roman Bacchanalia. Nothing Irish about it or him.


I can't imagine an individual whose legacy on this island has been more damaging. We might as well celebrate Cromwell's Day.

I call him Patty because I hate him and all he represents.

Peppermint Patty would be in UFC if she were around now. One tough girl.

Not really. Lots of people called Patrick/Padraig would be nicknamed Paddy. I've never met a male Patty.

Patty from The Simpsons was a lesbian. Peppermint Patty is sometimes likened to a lesbian.

With the 17th on March approaching, we have to ask ourselves: Was St Patrick a lesbian?

She is probably passed her fighting peak, she'd be 70 plus by now.

Yeh. Early Christianity in Ireland (which wasn't really Roman Catholic) was fine. Also the medieval church did keep literacy alive and founded universities. So not all bad.

It's closer to Patrick than paddy though. Has a "t".

It's the American celebration of the feast of the hamburger patty, pure 100% processed beef (contains 5% actual beef). The green symbolise the leaf of lettuce, so people can meet their minimum daily vegetable requirements as specified by their ancient kings who are buried beneath the nutritional pyramid. The patty is traditionally washed down by green beer in honour of the great lettuce leaf.

It's an American malapropism of St Patrick's Day.

As 67,576,098 users of Facebook seem hellbent on informing me - vis-a-vis the medium of hilarious infographics - every March.

Don't mention it.

The only single place I've ever heard mention of this is once a year on boards.ie.

St Patty is what dumb ass Americans call St Patrick.

St Paddy is what dumb ass irish call St Patrick.

Patty is a manifestation of Irish people overreacting over the inconsequential

Do all your opinions derive from the 'handbook of simplistic teenage rebellion' or just this one?

St Michael. The patron saint of Marks and Spencer.


St Bernard might be more popular though.

It's to do with most American accents and their soft "d"s - this resulted in "Paddy" being slightly mangled to "Patty". Much the same sort of thing that resulted in Sakichi Toyoda's surname being rendered as "Toyota". This kind of thing happens from time-to-time, they're not trying to annoy you.

Thought you'd love him if he was Irish hating? You moan about this country regularly.

And you actually called him a civil servant. :pac:

Patricius' father was something like a city councillor right enough, but the lad himself was only sixteen when he was captured by raiders and first brought to Ireland.

We await St Pathy's day

With most regional American accents you have to listen fairly carefully to distinguish the "hard-D" sound they use in e.g. "Paddy" and the lighter, "tapped-D" sound used in e.g. "Patty".

You name the day, some American will have a go at making a cake to commemorate it, and "St Patty's Day" is no exception. Cake Wrecks has some fine examples of how it's done, here. The mutant shamrocks holding knives look particularly tasty. :eek:
