Throwing a Paddy?

Koloman

Just watching ITV there during the Brazil v Chile game and the commentator (Clive Tyldesley I think) said just before half time that the manager was going to "throw a Paddy" when he got his team in!

Maybe I'm naive but I have never heard this expression before! Thoughts?

Anyway, back on topic.

Clearly - historically - a racist statement, although I think people use it unknowingly - as in Street Arab, or works like a black etc.

Agreed. Although this is the same station that got Ron Atkinson sacked when he said something racist against a black French player when he thought the microphone was off.

Of course all this could be worse than we think. They may have a midget Irishman inside the dressing rooms to through about the place. That'd scare people.

I do not think it's used in an anti-Irish manner but just one of those expressions like 'paddy wagon' or "I was working like a 'black'".

But that is also anti-Irish, inferring they are more likely to be arrested. Working like a black is not really inferring anything bad.

We should start saying 'throw a hun'.

Its just as meaningless, I never heard of any likeliness of Irish being short tempered.

You could start a better saying, like "having a brit" or "going for a brit".
After my large christmas dinner I like to read my book sitting on the toilet while having a brit.

"potato ni*gers" is brilliant in fairness!

At least if you had the guts of your depraved heroes, you'd be out blowing up children. As it is, it's just the armchair special. As ever.

People upset about the phrase "throwing a paddy" are baby killers, now?
