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.

:rolleyes: Edgy...

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.

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".

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?

Well (s)he did banish snakes, there could be phallic symbolism there....

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:

What did he say when you emailed him your concerns?

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

Were you looking for me
